No, the fog is greatly over rated.

Unlike many sandy areas of the world, most of the shores in Maine are
very steep. You will often see sixty feet or so a couple of boat
lengths from shore. It's usually calm in the fog so you can creep
along close enough to see shore and it can be enchanting and
mysterious. Most fogs still leave enough visibility to see quite a
ways. The coast is so varied and interesting that fog often just
changes your route instead of trapping you at anchor. You motor up
the rivers where is scales up, tour harbors, or do other things.
Afternoon sea breezes blow the stuff away more often than not.

I once met a couple who spent three months a year for 30 years
cruising in Maine and they said they still hadn't seen it all.


Could this perhaps be due to the FOG?
