Cabo de Gato is an appropriate name for this coast. We sailed right past these rocks, but gave them a lot of room. There is a popular saying among sailors: "when in doubt, stay out". Which means, deep water is safer for boats in unpredictable weather than getting too close to land, hoping to get to a safe harbour. The best thing to do is to stay at least three to five miles offshore where the water is deep.
