Came across this site while looking for reading material.

Hope you can find it useful.

I see that the Bounty Trilogy is listed on page 11. That was my
favorite read when I was a kid. Great set of books!

Patrick O'Brian on the same page, the Jack Aubry series, is my all
time favorite. What a tremendous set.

I haven't read any of his works. I'll have to give one of the Auby
series a try.

Start with the first, and realize that you'll be learning a lot of new
terminology. The first couple books took a while to get into, simply
because I was looking up parts of sailing ships on the internet all
the time. Here's a very worthwhile page:

Thanks for the tip, John. Merry Christmas!
