A local flight in 400/3 conditions is not all that risky....for an experienced pilot.
With a 400' ceiling, just how high do you fly?
Now I've flown low over water before, but its one thing to be say 50 to 100 feet above the water on a nice sunny day, and quite another when there's a solid layer of grey a stone's throw right above your head!
