There's some great online books by Steve and Linda dashew.
Marine weathers handbook
Surviving the storm.
And another one I have that I cannot recall offhand and my ipads flat.
Someone posted links on sea breeze to download these.
They also wrote "cruising encyclopedia " 1000 pages.
Surving the storm is full of actual accounts from sailors . Rescuers, etc from Sydney to Hobart 98 tragedy and some severe storms between south South Pacific and nz
I read these books cover to cover and the helped me considerably.
