Easy going, understanding, kind, guy with an fine, but respectful edge for seriousness. My friends say I have a heart of gold and more loyal than their dogs. I've been on an alternative path for the last 7 years of my life. I am neither political nor religious but respect your views as long as you don't try to share and impress them on me. I've been sailing a few years now part time, and in 2020 bought my own boat and have been sailing full time since. I'm divorced, and not looking for any complications in life, enjoying my space and freedom, so lady's please rela, only sailing and have a good time. I have taken the 101, 103, and 105 ASA classes and have been crewing for a few years. I have some experience in ocean sailing and have done a couple smaller passages in Asia, but of course would love to have crew with even more experience to teach me a few tricks. I'm not in a hurry at all, one thing I've learned is that wanting the boat to go faster is normally inviting problems into your life. Low and slow with low expectations leads to happy smiles when the plan goes well. | |
Smoking: | non-smoker |
Relationship status: | single |
Dietary requirements: | I am plant based, thsts not to say I wouldn't eat a fish we caught...just not into filling my body with conventionally raised animals. I am actually a pretty good cook, some of my chef friends would call me a chef... But none the less food should be a celebration of life and bring you health and smiles. Thee are more spices, oils and vinegars on my boat than a normal person would have in a house. I've lived 20 years overseas and my diet consist of Indian and Asian influence primarily. |
