Just look at some of the Google images of the Sandy Straits. What fun, not! Sandbanks everywhere. In good sun, and up the mast with polarised sunglasses you can see the banks. But in rain and single handed up the mast just is not an option. Unless my right arm is 45 feet long and I can hold the tiller from there. My right arm is less than 45 feet long! The bar entrance was especially fun. White water all around me. Mark one eyeball navigation of the old school...
