That's it, there is no alternative.

Ok, one more Sea Story, my last, I promise.

When the Tule fog would come in, we would fly instrument approaches into Castle and other airports in the valley.

Surreal: Bright sunshine on the approach profile, CAVU, until you hit about 1000/1500 feet...then into the soup followed by darkness on the edge of town.

Hit the missed approach point, execute the missed approach procedures and climb right back into the sunshine.

I did eight in one flight, four each for the two of us. It is hard to get actual instrument approaches in San Diego!

Done.
