Yes we have col regs and I obeyed them. Why do you ask. Is it because
of the speed we were running?


Yes!



I cannot imagine a vessel that needs 25 kts to maintain steerage.

Even if it needed 25 kts, then I cannot see that it could not either drift,
or drop anchor.


25 kts in thick fog seems to be just plain stupid.
