Jack Whitehouse has spent most of his life on or near the water. He first visited Fire Island as a child in the early 1950s and remains a regular visitor to this day. In 1955 he took his first sailing lesson on the Great South Bay eventually teaching sailing for the Wet Pants Sailing Association in the early 1960s. Receiving his commission in the U.S. Navy in 1968, he then served aboard the destroyer U.S.S. Buck for two cruises to Vietnam. In 1971 he became the Executive Officer and then the Commanding Officer of the patrol gunboat U.S.S. Chehalis sailing out of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In the early 1970s, following Norwegian language training, he became the first U.S. Navy exchange officer with the Royal Norwegian Navy serving for a combined total of 20 months in Norwegian frigates, patrol boats and submarines in waters north of the Arctic Circle. Jack is currently working on a second book: a history of the home for children, known as the “Cottages,” in Sayville, Long Island. He also writes for the Fire Island Tide under the pen names Jay D. Raines and Lee Jouvet.
