I'm John, owner and host of this web site.

Under Development ..... For the time being.....

I'm working on learning web development so hopefully the updates to this site will be coming more often.

Please come back often and check it out. And if you have my email address, feel free to drop me a line.

I don't know that I really have the right to claim being an actual Puddle Pirate.

That would mean that I actually spent time afloat - which I didn't. You see, I was very fortunate in some ways during my career.

In 26 years I didn't spend one day afloat. Yep, a sea going service and I didn't spend a day afloat.

In some ways I feel like I cheated myself because when all the other actual sailors are sitting around and telling their stories, I have nothing to share.

All I can do is sit and listen. But it's the choices I made so I can't really blame anyone but myself.
