Sasless, are you getting old on us?? You have been around the horn plenty and dont tell me you dont remember those dark nights in SEA with that ONE engine behind you.....
Anyway as mentioned on another thread, I have done plenty of nights in the Virgin Islands into some seriously black holes. And yes in a B206 (series) Hated every minute of it, and just tried to take things a bit

Radar Altimeter would have been my choice beyond the usual items.
Dam good Rum down there though.........
