Nurikabe Puzzle Pack
IX : Skara Brae
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Divide the grid into a number of islands -- orthogonally connected groups of cells. Every island contains a single circled cell; the digit in the circle indicates the number of cells making up the island.
The islands are surrounded by a waterway -- a single orthogonally connected group of cells. All caged cells are waterway cells; the digit in a caged cell indicates how many waterway cells are seen orthogonally from that position, including itself (island cells block vision). The waterway cannot form any 2x2 areas.
All island cells contain digits that are SMALLER than orthogonally adjacent waterway cells.
Have fun, leave a comment if you enjoy the puzzle!
Solution code: Row 7

Not terribly often that the pencilmarks in an uncolored cell help determine whether it's land or water. What a neat puzzle!
