Flying to Eureka Murray (EKA) when weather was IFR. Typically ceilings would be about 200. There is a VOR approach but it was unusable because EKA had no weather reporting.

There is an ILS approach into Arcata (ACV). Before commencing the approach inform Seattle of your intention to conclude the approach with a Special VFR out of Class E to the south. So you break out at minimums, level at 200ft over the runway extended centerline till you cross the coast. Then fly south. Occasionally visibility will be in the 2-3 mile range. As the bay appears on the left start turning east and aim for a row of trees. Airport is either right or left of trees. If things get hairy, fly west and climb like hell.
