Was flying to a small grass strip on a small island, elevation around zero. When nearing, at around 4000', solid local cloud cover, and decided to descend into it. Still no visibility at 1500', so full power and climbed up and out of it. Circled and 15 mins later it was gone and could land. Still scary, will never do that again. I am somehow gifted with being able to fly in IMC, perhaps due to too much toying with flight simulator. My last bi-annual check-ride involved over an hour flying in clouds and IFR approaches, would recommend that to everyone, may save your a$$ one day.
