My eyesight is good. My eyesight is even great. But water, sky and land together can play tricks on your sight. I have two (sometimes 3) books that I like to check before we go to a new place. One of the books has cartoon-ish but accurate drawings of the entries to the bay or marina the other has precise directions and outlines; between them I get a pretty good image of what to expect (okay, plus I check a nautical chart and our GPS has photos). Still, when it is a rock seawall or some sort of breakwater I can never see the entrance! I just have to trust that it is where it is supposed to be and boldly point the boat at that place in the very solid looking wall hoping when we are close enough an opening will be revealed.
