Same here but we had no problem boating across Long Island Sound, just
a little extra attention to the radar. Running in fog is really not
that different from running at night.


I guess it's a matter of how much experience you have with radar to feel
comfortable. I don't mind running at night, but try to avoid heavy fog.
At night you still have the visual inputs of shoreline landmarks, boat/ship
lights, stars, moonshine, etc. For me, heavy fog (meaning less than a
quarter mile visibility) deletes all lights and distorts the origin of
sound. Although the radar works, I still get a bit uncomfortable in it.
I know other people aren't bothered at all, but it's still something I can't
get used to and feel 100 percent confident in.
