It's that time of year here. The fog was thick as pea soup last night.

Should be the same tonight, and many many nights until Febuary or so.

Nothing like sailing in thick fog, most times the wind is light, it's
and erie feeling of flying out on the pulpit when you can not see the
water. I can understand why blind people love sailing.

Here it's pretty easy to know what direction you are sailing on the
lake and how close you are to shore. I call it sailing by glow & smell
o vision...no compass needed.

Anyone else here enjoy the challenge and magic of sailing in Pea Soup?

I'm not sure "enjoy" is quite the right word. I've done it many
times, with and without electronics, and I do find it a worthy
challenge. I've seen a lot of pea soup in Maine, but that doesn't
worry me much because almost everyone there knows how to handle it.
Points south, such as Buzzard's Bay are scary because the sport
fishermen are still doing 35 knots and probably don't know how to turn
on their radar. The few times I saw it in FL I decided not to leave
the dock. On one of those days someone hit the side of the Naples-Key
West ferry at high speed, with fatal results.

I do enjoy the feeling I get after having survived a run in the fog!
