Couple of books available to down load free.
Mariner's Weather Handbook.
Surviving the storm.
Certainly good value and a good read.

Surprised no one has commented on these books! Poms on the PBO forums are raving about them. Check them out, they are excellent. Some people are a little pissed off they have just shelled out for the hard cover versions!
Hi Ramona,
DL'ed both of them yesterday & had a flick through them both.
They really are a wealth of information, well written with a global focus (not just Northern Hemisphere), Surviving The Storm is like a case study of many events including the fateful S2H '98 from memory, analysing each case & what could have been done better, really good books.
Thanks for posting.
I also bought a few books off Amazon, sadly (depending on which way you look at it) one third the price of exactly the same books from aussie retailers. cheers
**** hot stuff thanks Ramona ... spent the weekend on Surviving the Storm & it's by far the most detailed information on this topic I've come across. The section covering first hand accounts of people in the storm in the Tasman is especially good.
Thanks Ramona, sure we love it, just to flick through pages , wow, postponed reading for rainy days.

Generally anything by Steve Dashew is worth paying attention to.
Yes in hindsight I should have mentioned the author.

still amazed by the technology !! 
. Will get around to having a read when not flicking around the net !!!
Thanks for the link Ramona !! Cheers
