Every second post here is about rope. I have spliced and whipped and made fast for thirty years and I would sooner do almost anything else with an evening. Nobody believes me until I have said it three times, so this is the first.
Fifty, submissive, shore based now after a long time at sea, living near the harbour because I do not sleep properly away from the noise of it. Fifteen years in this. Three dynamics, not a metre of rope in any of them.
What does work on me is authority and consequence. Being told. Being expected. Being answerable to somebody consistent who does not need to raise her voice. I spent decades under people who could run a deck with three words, and the ones who were good at it were never the loud ones.
I want something ongoing and domestic. A standing arrangement, duties, an evening or two a week, and enough structure that it survives a fortnight in which we do not see each other. I am not much of a talker and I am worse on a telephone. I write short and I mean what is in it.
Not looking for a rope partner, obviously. Not looking for anyone who wants a nautical theme, which has been suggested twice, which I found extremely funny and will not be doing. And not looking for somebody who wants a project, because I am fifty and finished.
