Foggy River
Here is a good example of the type of fog you see on Mark Twains favorite
river: http://away.com/gifs/states/mn/fall_missriver.jpg Anyone know what type of fog this is? And how it is formed? Notice how calm it is? makes it thick as can be Notice how flat the water is? great for a crystal clear radar picture Notice how low it is? Lots of sunlight makes it very bright-snowblinds ya Notice the steep banks? Makes a easy-to-learn radar picture. How many other types of fog exist? Would you be scared to navigate in this fog?

And how it is formed? It looks like a blanket of fog in chilly air over warm water, I forget the official name for it. And if it is in St Paul Minn, it's well above Mark Twain country IIRC. Would you be scared to navigate in this fog? If it was on a river with current, yes. Fresh Breezes- Doug King |

That's not what MC said... Ain't it funny how you and I (and probably a quite a few others around here) could deduce the conditions but only Navvie knows it's proper taxonomy (or is it orthography).

OZ asked:=20
How long do the shafts last? I lived right smack dab between the Mississippi and the Merrimac for = three years...the Mississippi is a muddy, muddy river and if you don't = service your engine continuously, it will go shot quite quickly. People = sail up north of St Louis and I've heard that sailboat engines suffer, = too. Running the Mississippi through your engine is like pouring mud = through a fine sieve.=20 --=20 katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.
