So, how do you avoid lobster traps while boating in the fog?


Slowly and with great care. Even in Maine pea soup you can usually
see 50 to 100 ft. The radar is for avoiding other boats and locating
nav aids.

Being able to see lobster pots in thick fog is actually a good thing
because the lobstermen rarely set in less than 6 or 7 ft of water.
