Hard day's night

Article Abstract:

Some sailors decided to go east on a favorable breeze in their 'Gemini Catamaran' especially since they felt that they can keep an anchor watch for whole night but there were two problems, approaching darkness and the other was an unlit reef at the reef mouth of the bay. There was an interesting way to come into the anchorage by running up the reef for whole night.
