I'm one of those who likes RANT for the procedural and SA aspects of instrument flying.

I was doing touch-and-goes on water last week - a new one on me, didn't know you could do that. It takes three hands working different controls at the same time, so the instructor did the flaps.
(Neither of which is likely to be of much immediate interest to the OP.)
