I can assure folk that I won't be sitting around looking pretty Although I have been known to wear a bikini on a few occassions - but that was purely when dancing. in a bar. Sadly long closed now .

But if required to seal the deal I would be willing to do so again (after enuf beer and in the right (???!!) circumstances maybe hard to stop me ).

Anyway, I hope my honesty does not put any women off My copy of Cosmo (c. 1987) says that women love honesty. my experiances since 1987 say that not always strictly true, but............

I'm here to answer your ad -- we've been looking for a floating nanny for our 5 year old son for a while. So you can move on board and be in charge of him so the captain and I can have some private time.

I understand the boat is well founded; she is a capable master with particular proficiency in knot work and keeping her tools sharpened.

Those that know her say she is personable, intelligent, possessing a determined mind set.

Apparently after an unpleasant matrimonial incident that made the headlines, she went to sea in her own sailboat and left her husband holding the short end of the stick.

If I remember correctly her married name was Bobbitt, but I understand she is a much changed person and you should have no trouble getting your 10 hours after 11pm.

PM me if you are interested.
I think my estranged has a set of her signature edition knives...Glad I did not hang around for a test.

Brilliant. I arrive on Tuesday (maybe give you time to tell Schoonerdog the good news? ).

BTW what brand of beer does your son prefer? and does his pocket money permit him to stand his own rounds? .

He's a rum kind of guy and he's got a treasure chest full of coins. I think you guys will get along famously!

And no relationship string attached!

David .... I suspect you and I would get along famously .... unfortunately if we hung out together we most certainly would get, at minimum, arrested .... and the authorities would throw away the key!

This reminds me of the advert in the "Missing" section of local paper

"Wife, dog and boat missing"................"Reward for dog and boat"

As Shakespeare said, “many a true word is spoken in jest,”
I had been thinking of posting something like that, but in my case not tongue-in-cheek—assuming Dave’s is? But I could not get up the nerve.
I also know, "faint heart never won fair lady," so here I go.
The economic downturn has dashed many people’s boating dreams, including mine, and maybe also some lady out there who can’t afford to take her boat where she wants, for one reason or another, without meeting someone else. If you are in this boat (ha!), send me a private message and we can talk, after all, “nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

Wow! I had thought when DOJ put this thread up that many would make light of his sincere offer, even mock him. But seeing that Miss_Bikini has responded so positively, I can only admire David's testicular fortitude for making his offer so publicly.

Miss_Bikini sounds almost too good to be true, but it seems self-evident now that an all-female crew of Swedish swimsuit models would be desperate for a Captain such as DOJ. And really, how hard can it be to be Captain of a galleon lying in the Caribbean? Why, it was already routine three hundred years ago!

i like honest men, so do most women. What we dont like is mealy mouthed, half hearted men with no backbone or integrity.
Not to be confused with being in touch with their feminine side as that can mean something different but a man who is a mans man will always be admired and respected.
I can accept the truth but I hate lies and evasion of responsibilities
Think John Wayne, Clint Eastwod, Harrison Ford etc.
