we had a bit of fog on the fields this morning.

Same here but we had no problem boating across Long Island Sound, just
a little extra attention to the radar. Running in fog is really not
that different from running at night.

I guess it's a matter of how much experience you have with radar to feel
comfortable. I don't mind running at night, but try to avoid heavy fog.
At night you still have the visual inputs of shoreline landmarks, boat/ship
lights, stars, moonshine, etc. For me, heavy fog (meaning less than a
quarter mile visibility) deletes all lights and distorts the origin of
sound. Although the radar works, I still get a bit uncomfortable in it.
I know other people aren't bothered at all, but it's still something I can't
get used to and feel 100 percent confident in.

I'm not nervous in fog, but I have had a close call at night and in
heavy fog.

Some dumbass thought I was a bouy and he couldn't figure out why I was
moving around.

It's a long story and not worth repeating. :)
