Hey, excellent people.  The other day I was out driving my boat in the early morning and saw the coolest shooting star.  You know, the kind that breaks apart as it streaks across the sky.  I was thinking it would have been cool to say, "Hey, look!"  ...but the dolphins don't speak English as far as I know.  Then I was thinking... Ya know who does speak English?  Lots of women.
So, I'm here looking for one.  Don't need a lot of them.  One is good.  🙂  I also Speak Spanish, some French, and some German...
Anyway, I just turned 50, I grew up in North America, but live in an island community in Panama (Caribbean side) (which is why I have boats, not a car).  I moved down here because I was feeling squeezed by all the rules and regulations up north, and there's much more freedom here.  Also, my boat is solar/human powered.  I build all my boats myself.  I say that because it says a lot about the kind of person I am.  I prefer to do things myself rather than pay money for things.  (One of the reasons I didn't fit in in North America).
I also think our bodies are our most valuable possessions, so I get lots of exercise, and eat well.  Giving up cake after a youth full of sugar was tough, but feeling good is totally worth it.  Funny thing, now overly sweet things taste gross.  I'd love it if we can be active together.  How do ya feel about morning exercises?  Great way to start the day, right!?  No alarm clock needed.  Just the sun coming through the windows.  (Shudders at the thought of an alarm clock)
I have kids, and would love to have more.  I realize that creates an age constraint.  ...and I wouldn't want to have more children if my health was in question at all.  At this point, I figure I have one more chance to create a loving family.  I know that's not the cool thing to do these days with all the excitement and drama being encouraged, ...but that's what I want.  I want decades of reliable, sometimes even boring cooperation.  I want our excitement to come from amazing things we do and build together.  
When I say cooperation, I mean that.  We work together.  I am a natural leader, and I'm comfortable in that role, but I'm not interested in being an authoritarian, so if you're a "brat" who needs constant threat of punishment, I'm not the right guy.  I'd rather earn your trust in me.  As for our roles, it really depends on who we are, but I see roles more as responsibilities.  For instance, if I'm in charge of the heavy lifting, and you're in charge of making dinner that means we are in charge of making sure those things happen.  I can still offer to make dinner, and you can come out and shovel gravel.  ..and a lot of the time we can do things together.  ....cuz it's fun.
Anyway, what else.  I'm homesteading here.  ...built my house, building a 2nd house right now, growing food, fishing, etc.  I get meat from a local farm that drives it right up to my beach.
I'm 6'1'', about 200lbs, and look just like the guy in these pictures.  (I'll add some recent pictures)
One last thing. As outdoorsy people, a lot of us don't spend a lot of time online, so feel free to mention me to someone you might know who fits the bill, and isn't online.  
OK, Have a great day ,everyone!
Jaimie
PS.  Yes, I'm real... As an ice breaker, tell me something you liked about what I wrote here.
