Yeah Mo, sometimes you don't need big conditions to be terrified. Hearing the modest swell breaking on the rocks of the breakwater, being completely blind without radar or GPS and knowing that's the direction you need to go to get home, that was pretty nerve wracking. Once we made the turn into a harbor opening we believed was there we were fully committed. And of course the sounds at night are omnidirectional. All we had were a compass, a chart and our ears, no position fixing means of any kind.
