About Me

My photo
Paul, Dammit!
I'm Paul B and I'm a professional mariner and former but still occasionally a marine scientist. From commercial fishing in New England starting from age 8 to crewing on the largest ships in the world, to working on coastwise tugboats and oil barges. I married a Brazilian beauty queen and don't get to see her enough.
