Lol. Midway is surrounded by a coral reef and in WW II the only entrance was a narrow channel dredged to the south end of the atoll. Actually, entering Midway was challenging due to narrow channel and the tides etc. Flier grounded on there in 1944, several others had close calls. Video below (link) is a nice little summary of the event.

Since UBI declined to give us such things, I put a net around the atoll the simulate this, as mentioned in the README . Channel entrance is marked by small boats (still trying to get some buoys for SH 4). In upcoming version, channel is much narrower but is marked on map as well.
