Got to agree with Joe on this issue of remembering outlines/picking
differences.

I don't disagree that one can become familiar with a coastline/river from
the radar picture.

I disagree with the proposition that a Radar watch(at 25 kts) can be
considered " an effective lookout".

Most people agree that you need to post a lookout on the bow in thick fog,
and that you need to be going slowly enough to respond to a warning from the
bowman.
