Here's the inspirational pic. Nice, but not the best pic of his face, though the body is quite nice. Making it a bit of a stretch for me.

Valerie had been out enough times with Sheila that she was able to guilt her into going out in the canoe for a change. Not quite the lanky lovely's first choice for entertainment, but Valerie knew a way to hold her interest.
Paddling along the lake shore, they passed a dock with a utilitarian boat tied off under a boathouse. Evidence of a succesful fishing trip was strewn across the boards: landing net, a cooler, rods and reels and a group of frantic seagulls swooping and diving into the water. A loud splash came from the far side of the boathouse and Valerie steered the canoe away from the dock just a bit. Bubbles broke the surface near them and then a tawney head arose. The bare torso followed, lean and muscular from honest work.
"Mornin' Josh, any luck?"
"Dang Miss Valerie, you scared me for a second. Decent haul today. How y'all doin'?" He nodded to them, his gaze lingering on Sheila for a second longer than neccessary.
"Doing good Josh. This is my sister-in-law Sheila."
"Nice to meet you." Shelia managed a smile and a nod, then Josh dipped his head back into the water to smooth his hair back.
"Well, better get those fish put up before the gulls figure out how to get into the cooler. Y'all have a nice day, now y'hear?"
"You too Josh." Valerie propelled the canoe forward, biting her lips to supress the giggle as Sheila nearly broke her neck trying to keep the man in sight.
As they glided away back into the shadows of the cypress trees, Valerie heard Sheila murmur, "Never knew wildlife could be *that* interesting."
