This is correct.... I know since I have fished commercially and sailed
around the Maritimes for many years. You can NOT tell where the sound is
coming from in thick fog... at least not in a precise direction. Port or
Starboard... maybe yes.... bow or stern maybe yes.... distance bearing no
way!

Cappy you're a tropical sailor with limited experience in my sea realm. I've
sailed often in your waters.... you've never sailed in mine. You are in no
position to speak with any authority on fog.... you are merely quoting and
misconstruing second hand information. That's why you can't defend yourself
adequately in this situation.
