About Me:

This may be a long shot because I am currently landlocked living in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I'm a bright, healthy, and playful man who values communication, honesty, and integrity. I'm outgoing, easy to know, fun to be with and I hope...easy to like. I love to tease, cuddle, joke and highly believe a sense of humor is important in everything we do. I like to have fun. I can occasionally be silly and can maintain a spirited banter. Love smiling and laughing, even at myself. So, what initially attracts me to another person, is the lack of pretentiousness and hopefully, you'll have a kind of a wacky ability to see the humor in life as I do. I'm looking for a best friend, lover and a life-long partner. She would be adventuresome and have a desire to see (and experience!) more of the world. Someone who wants to explore unique destinations and realizes the best experiences are often well off the beaten path.

I love jazz music and of course, the musical sounds of Jimmy Buffett. I am a pretty good cook and a fair Karaoke singer.

I am not religious but tolerant of those who are, everyone needs their own space and beliefs.

Being beautiful is not always based on looks; you have to see a person with your heart, and what a person has in their heart...with the capacity to love, to share is what really interests me most. What is essential is invisible to the eyes. I have high standards, values, good-heart, kind, respectful and loving, and would want the same from my mate. Independent and quite comfortable being alone but prefer the closeness of what a caring, respectful and intimate relationship can offer.

As a writer, have a real penchant for learning, trying new things and am open-minded to most anything within reason. Enjoy traveling and have done so extensively. Spontaneous, adventurous, and enjoy just picking up and going whenever possible. I love the outdoors, sailing, SCUBA diving, or just being outside to inhale the splendor and awesome beauty of nature. I don't sweat the small stuff - life should be explored and enjoyed. I am currently working on a romance novel, keep an eye out for Craig A Ruark, author.

My favorite quote: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Sailing Experience:

I am not one of those guys that screams and yells, sailing should be fun and relaxing.

I have been sailing off and on in some great places, bareboat chartered 40 footers in the Bahamas, Virgin Islands, and the San Juan Islands, along with 30 footers in San Francisco and San Diego bays. I had a 23' Ranger that I raced for two years on Lake Mead and then a 30' Catalina that I cruised for over ten years. I also SCUBA. I was part of a four-person crew that sailed from St. Pete, FLA to Cancun, Mexico, a four-day trip across the Gulf of Mexico.

I especially enjoy closing my eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun and listening to the sounds of the sails and rigging dancing with the water and wind.
