Have read few posts on SB but had a few questions hoping people can answer.

Not after speed runs just flat water for my wife that is just getting into footstraps.

Is the water in front of Nanga Bay resort still relatively flat? Shallow?
Sailing at Shell Beach by what i can work out people normally sail the left hand side. Do people drive on to the beach? Looking at Maps it looks like a track down to beach where I have marked in black, is that correct? Or where is best to launch? Is it still shallow?

Has anyone sailed Big Lagoon in FP NP? Worth the drive in?
