I'm (physically) in my late 40's; 62 chronologically. All the photos of me here were taken within the past 2 years. I'm seeking a woman in her late 30's to early 40's to join me as a one-time, some-time or full-time mate, someone ready to come share this amazing life and lifestyle. All you need to be is spiritually conscious, physically fit, slim/slender/thin/petit and toned, smart, reasonably attractive and under 5’5” (1.65m).

I’m an experienced offshore skipper, a US Coast Guard licensed Merchant Marine Master with nearly 150,000 nautical miles logged under sail. I'm also a professional writer/photographer. My articles appear in major boating magazines worldwide and my book, "Ready for Sea!", is a popular manual for outfitting and preparing a sailboat for extended passage-making and living aboard. I know what I’m doing on a boat, and I’m a pretty good teacher, too, when I’ve got a crew interested in learning.

My personal specs are: 5’7”, 165 lbs, solid and well built, reasonably secure, chronically adventurous, somewhat counter-culture, privately spiritual, generally joyful, upbeat & positive, and (my mother says) better than average looking. I practice meditation and Tolle presence, play guitar and sing and, well… If you love the free life and world travel, then come see for yourself. The best way to get started is to click here to email me. Tell me about yourself, and please include some recent photographs.

Update: Last spring I sailed Silverheels from Panama to Florida and put her into dry-dock storage for a few months. After 5 years afloat it was time to take a break, to provide a little contrast, which helps keep life fresh and fun. I bought a VW pop-top campervan and spent the summer in the northwest US national forests. Now I'm back aboard Silverheels in a boat yard in northeast Florida, preparing to re-launch in late November and head south again, to Cuba and beyond.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
