OK without punctuation?
Is the following OK without any punctuation? I can't decide if it needs any as it doesn't seem to break any of the rules.
"The hostile weather left the Captain confused over which direction he was now heading and obscured his view so that he could not see the horizon and was left floating about aimlessly."
I thought of a possible comma after 'view', but I'm not sure because I thought that "so that" introduces a subordinate clause and, therefore, needs no comma to precede it.
