ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Jonny. I work on sailing ships.
Originally from Duluth, Minnesota, I've been traveling for the last four years. Most of my travels have been by sea and have sailed nearly all of the U.S coastal waters. In between boats I've spent a lot of time hitchhiking the U.S.
PHILOSOPHY
"Observe. Analyze. Adapt. Assist." Is something I came up with for crew training, but is just a good operating system. Above all, however, my mantra is "Be Decent. Be effective."

Music: Whatever sounds good, a lot of Folk/Traditional, Classical, Jazz, Punk, but mostly old Rock and Roll.
Movies: Whatever makes me think.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A Fogbow and Glory from the Fore T'gallant Mast of the HMS Bounty off the coast of Nova Scotia.
Here's a link to a poor quality cell phone video.

P.s turn your speakers down, the ship's horn is loud and I sound like an idiot.
Teach, Learn, Share
I feel like I have a lot of random knowledge combined with some pretty interesting experiences; I like story telling and being able to use stories to offer wisdom.
Also anything to do with boats or sailing I feel I have a pretty good grasp on.
