Narrative:
Night VFR. Uneventful flight and descent to crp. Cleared visual approach to runway 18. Fully configured at 1;000 feet and on speed with all checklists completed. Approximately 700 feet; received 'caution obstacle' GPWS. Lighted refinery stack in sight; VASI in sight; runway in sight and sink 400 rpm. Continued to land. Uneventful landing and taxi. After reviewing pubs after landing we should have executed a go-around in night VFR.
