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!

You're welcome, and Merry Christmas to you too, J.

I'm looking forward to the late service tonight and singing all the
Christmas songs, you know, the politically incorrect ones that don't
get played on the radio.

Have a Super Christmas and a Spectacular New Year!
