lol funny how that happens.I nearly grounded my fleetboat entering Surabaya the other day in 1942, couldnt see the tiny island unless zoomed in close, my plotted course just happened to cross this small island.I had some real tense moments as I decided to take a walk up to bridge since it was night, visibility was bad and seas heavy, luckily spotted it just in time and after an all back emergency order, only my bow struck the island and caused some minor damage, but did not ground her.waited until dawn to enter harbor.
