have you read monserrats - master mariner - ?

Yes, long time ago. Thanks for reminding me, thats worth
rereading.

Another gem is Captain Frederick Marryat (author). I gave my
father two of his series; for a while he was calling me up
to quote parts over the phone. For some reason I never
warmed up to O'Brien's writings, in a few years I'll give
him another try. Or maybe I'll just start writing naval
historical fiction: you know darn well that if you want
something done right, you gotta do it yourself....

Some good naval current fiction would be welcomed!
