Cheryl Jones British Navy Cheryl Jones is one of those interesting people that will surprise you with the challenges she’s willing to take on. And while many pirates went on the account after seeing Pirates of the Caribbean, Cheryl took the whole thing way farther.

Plenty of good pirate talk and how she extended that interest into the British Navy. And of course, the funny story of how she and I originally connected. 🙂
