In His Own Words
About him
I'm based on a Yacht cruising the French Canals ~ Presently near Paris and slowly moving east. Profile photo and last two photos August '18. The broad plan is to meander south this year & get to the Med by next year. After that, who knows.
My Basic philosophy ~ a day without a damn good Laugh, is a waste. Don't take Myself, or anyone else too seriously..
I'm told that patience is not one of my strongest points..
I would like to meet a lively feisty Woman, Zo If you are looking for a "Pipe 'n Slippers" man then I'm really not the one. I was raised in Africa, lived & worked in about 60 Countries ~ In this fun life I've been shot at, shipwrecked, had some 60+ M'cycle spills (in competition), near air-miss in 2 seat jets, nudist beaches, amateur Boxer, film extra, downhill Skier, Scuba diving etc etc..
Currently learning to play the piano keyboard, fly a Boomerang and RC Helicopter..
Active well balanced & traveled individual ~ educated in Uni of Life.
I much enjoy good conversation with people who have lived, traveled & enjoyed real life.
Regularly go Sailing ~ Mountain-Bikes ~ MotorCycling ~ Ski'ing ~ Archery ~ Shooting ~ Mo-Jive dancing, Roller blading, boomerang etc etc..
They say its only possible to really See the night Sky in 3 places ~ Mid Ocean, in a Desert & up a Mountain. I've done all three.
Bucket List, A new experience to add ~ Flight in a MiG 29
More of a practical thinker Guy & not really suited to office environment or tedious politics.
Daft Sense of Humour from Forces background (RAF long time ago).
Not a City person ~ all those poisonous fumes & yukky water..
I believe most Conspiracy Theories have a lot to commend them & treat any ‘Official Report’ with much scepticism ~ Having written a few.
An Aircraft / Marine / Nuclear / Oil & Gas Engineer by profession.
I don't smoke, gamble or do drugs and get silly happy after a decent vino.
Like to think that I have a Healthy Happy Libido..
About his ideal match
Active & articulate, attractive Classy Lassy aged mid 50's to 60's * fit & able to enjoy life & sports.
Lover of life, its challenges & rewards, Fun to be with but a thinker as well. Sociable, Tactile, lovable and enjoys good conversation, terrible jokes, spontaneity, good food, wine & life in general. Probably argumentative, on occasions !!
I have always been adventurous and have lived Life, so I don't think it would work to be with someone who was always wondering what might go wrong instead of what fun it would be !
Or someone leading a sedentary lifestyle.
Must have decent Sense o Humour.
Comfortable in anything from a ball-gown to overalls / own skin /water /the gym/...etc. Not averse to helming a Yacht at 3am at night, in a Gale *** while I'm below drinking steaming hot café ... Only kidding !!!
Sailing experience not required ~ Reasonable fitness, Enthusiasm & V VG.SoH is a Must.
B u T ~ twixt the mysterious inexplicable "Chemistry" and that Opposites attract ~ who can ever tell !!
Photo's: No Photo is No Contact , only Reasonable I believe..
No Smile is No interest !!
If you relish watching a magnificent golden Sunset and enjoy basking in the pleasure of adversity overcome ~ please Contact me.
But, if you Live to Work, or dare not miss an episode of 'Corrie' and/or 'Enders' that may not be an ideal Match. But ! ! * *
