Last night I had to set program points to pass through Okinawa. On top of a bunch islands being in the way, there was a big wind shift to take into consideration. I spent the better part of an hour laying out 3 points to get me through this mess. I even took screen shots to document what I had done.
All this was to know avail. I woke up at 04:00 and checked my phone. Sure enough there was the notification that I had been aground for three and a half hours. DAMN IT! I ran aground on Iwo Tori Island. I was careful to zoom to the maximum level of any land I was going to be close to, and set my course.
Question 1
What is the rule of thumb for the amount of distance to give a land mass?
Question 2
When setting program points, Does VR take in to account future weather when showing your course over a period of hours.
As a side note I was using locked TWA at the time.
