We left Cape May, New Jersey this morning in fog so dense we couldn't
see either breakwater on the way out of the inlet, couldn't have done
it without RADAR. The expectation was that the fog would lift by
mid-morning and we'd have clear sailing up the Jersey coast into the
NYC area. It didn't happen. If anything the fog got worse as the day
went on and we never saw anything for the entire 113 nautical miles
until anchoring in Atlantic Highlands late in the evening. It was
instrument flying all the way on RADAR, GPS chart plotter, compass and
AIS for the entire trip. There's a nice sense of accomplishment in
doing that but it's also very stressful and hardly a pleasant day on
the water. We'd have waited for clear weather but there's a 3 day
nor'easter in the forecast and we have family obligations in NY next
week.
