In His Own Words

About him

A mariner by profession with most of my life in a blue suit and many nautical interests but now 'on the beach' at Emsworth.
- Seen most of the world, still enjoy travel but now more selective with refined cuisine, notable fish.
- Enjoy sailing, started as a Kent beach brat but now it's big boats in the Mediterranean sunshine. Still simple sailor.
- On the cultural side; occasional theatre, opera and drama but cannot claim to be any buff (Google the gaps in the plot), through to the cultural decades of the 60's).
- Man Shed hobbies restoration projects (hammer, nails and a bit of glue); plus water colour painting workshops (right colours in the right shapes).
- Relaxation and entertainment; largely non-fiction, TV documentary, bit a of Radio 4 person in the house & car, less relaxing; rowing and cycling around Britain in the gym.
- Enjoy meeting people and company, family values are important, and also share a love for dogs.
- Sidelines: - can play mahjong, back gammon - can't play the the piano (maybe youtube one day!)

Dislikes: ?... Punk and Gen Z genre etc music...

My outlook on life: "you only go round once"....carpe diem.

About his ideal match

Looking for a soulmate who shares similar interests maybe with a longer term view and a close location presents more opportunities; including personal introduction.

Travel and or sailing activities might provide a creative platform but there is always something new.

- and in a single word "simpatico".
