Low vis over water

Good decision for a go around. Low VI's on a non precision approach with both pilots looking for the runway, along with a lack of depth perception over the water with little horizon, it's a rather classic setup for such a mistake. Any of us who have spent time over water have fought this, especially in our young single pilot days. Same issues as black hole approaches. Makes me think of Kalitta at Gitmo.
