i love travelling , photography and scubadiving. iam addicted to scubadiving and playing guitar, i think these are the best things that happen to me. before i play guitar , i play all kind of flutes and charango,then only last 2 years i taught myself to play guitar it is abit late for me but you can imagine how good is that if you can play guitar on an isolated tropical island with beautiful view of a lagoon. i love scubadiving very much, it is so relaxing underwater and so beautiful hardly describe.

isn't that another word for prostitute?
No, it means luthiers don't make enough money to have fast expensive women so they work with the cheap whisky and the sensual forms and sounds of the cello. .

boats and freedom
Me too. I always dream of escaping on a boat. I have one but I don't trust it enough to go too far. It is cool to anchor off somewhere and pull out the guitar.

live on the beach and have a boat license..[been a good 20 years since i used it] but love the beach...family and friends...food, good wine [ lots of it in south australia]...helping others out...reading... jumping in the 'mystery machine' [an old toyota 8 seater] and getting away [ though usually involves the guitar] simple stuff really... almost anything that gives a sense of peace

It's surfing for me. I live 5 minutes from the beach and check the surf on the way to work, at work, and after work. I'd surf everyday if it were possible, but it's not always good conditions. I was complaining about not having enough time to practice to my wife and she pointed out that I do have the time, but choose to surf instead. And that is the truth. I find riding waves to offer the same excitement and satisfaction that doing a really great gig gave me, but without the incredible amount of hassle it takes to end up doing that great gig. After sitting in a chair practicing for 20 years, with terrible back problems, I regained a measure of health as well. My picado sucks, but my surfing is still improving.

Now I ask you, what could be more manly than drinking beer while your girlfriend paddles?
Uh uh.... take care. A danish Feminist (dutch also, I think) would accept it to build up muscle, and when being strong enough and the guy drunk enough, she´ll just throw him off and paddle away

Thats what I call freedom. and a boat (kayak) is the best way to get there.
I notice the more I do,the happier I am....so the "hobby" will become more of a lifestyle.
Its not the size of the boat. I have a 27 foot 2,5ton sailing yacht which can take me anywhere. Its wonderfull. You can sllep on board, cook, play the guitar etc. She´s a small home. But she needs 1,5m of water and sometimes its just so much better to slowly paddle around on half a meter of water where noone else goes. Especially in countrys like Denmark or Holland where you have loads of shallow waters. Thats where the birds, quietness etc is. The c.osest to what I´ll freedom left on mother earth.

BTW... Spain sucks major in this apect.
Yes, Holland has some nice shallow waters. This weekend it was so quiet you could here the musquitos just above the water making some kind of alien noise. I was truly fascinated by that.
Would encourage to have a holiday on a sailing yacht? Never done that.
