Final question: if the fog was thick (vis. maybe 100 ft) and you had radar (and
GPS, etc) would you go out?


I'm drawing on experience from more than 30 years ago, when my boat (a
38' Hubert Johnson m/v) had loran and radar only, GPS wasn't yet
around: No, I wouldn't unless it was some kind of emergency and then
I'd be damn careful and proceed slowly. Why look for trouble?
