Tam Valley Speaker Series - Sausalito Houseboat Wars: What Really Happened?

John Byrne Barry is a writer, actor, director, longtime TCSD volunteer, and crossing guard (at Flamingo and Shoreline Highway). He is the author of four novels and three plays, including “Sausalypso Houseboat Wars Murder Mystery,” which he wrote and directed in 2023 at the Tam Valley Community Center. He has since adapted the play into a novel, Pirates of Sausalito: Houseboat Wars Murder Mystery. The story is fiction, but inspired by true events. John will discuss his new novel and the fascinating, often-hard-to-believe history of the houseboat community and houseboat wars.
