Pinpricks in the vast ocean: This phrase expresses the insignificance of two small islands in the vast ocean.

Wavewalker had survived  for 15 hours since the waves hit it. The narrator realised that it could not sustain for long in water. So, it was necessary to search an island nearby. He checked the charts to locate the position of islands. The narrator calculated that there were two small islands after a few hundred kilometers towards east but to find them was not an easy task. To locate them was like looking for pinpricks in a vast ocean. Nonetheless, the members on the ship didn't lose heart and managed to find the island.
