"If ever there was a man with no guile and no game,
it's Albert Breniman", said Hitch.

I don't look like Albert, but I can sure appreciate his dilemma. Without game or guile, how does one approach dating with any hope of success?

I've been single since 1991.
I've dated a bit, and had a few loves, but tire of shallow, superficial or purely
physical relationships. (Well, most of them, anyway)
Want to get me excited? Touch my heart.

I'm an engineer, programmer, graphic artist, pilot, sailor, sculptor, aircraft designer, dreamer, writer (to list a few).

My worst quality?
Women claim I'm the nicest guy they've ever met - which is the kiss of death
as far as dating goes! (References on request, if desired!)

But how does a nice guy find a nice girl?
Specially a girl who will come sail with me?

I'm a retired sailor, but not retired from sailing!

This is my life - and my life style.
I spend most of my time these days taking care of the boat and,
when the wind blows, sailing for the far islands.
(we actually have a Treasure Island where I sail!)

I love sharing the wind and water.




Not just the Spanish Main luv,
the entire ocean, the entire wo'ld.
Wherever we want to go we'll go.
That's what a ship is you know.
Its not just a keel and a hull and a deck & sails.
That's what a ship needs,
but what a ship is...
is freedom.

First time is the only time you get to make a first impression.
So what to do for a first date?

And by the way, where is Hitch when you need him?
