I always thought the 's' was silent in the word islet. This is a good review, for some reason I have trouble remembering some of these. The most annoying one is the '+', which often means a rock that is deeper than my keel.

You are correct on the 's'. Yep, the rocks can be tough to remember. Think of the plus sign as the base "template" rock. It lies on the bottom or hides beneath the surface. Add a couple of legs (diagonals across the plus sign) to turn it into an asterisk. Those legs can raise it up and down. Put ping-pong balls (dots) in all four corners of the plus sign and it floats to the surface.
