Fog?

 Hi all,

Well, at least it warmed up!  But the next time I come to Florida it may be with radar. It has been looking like the Maine coast for the past several days. At one point yesterday we were under sail on the Mosquito Lagoon in foggy conditions at 4 in the afternoon, booming along in 20 mph+ winds. The fog bank thickened and I could no longer see the next mark. Fortunately, the vector on my Navionics app saved the day. I kept going along lined up in the right direction while Britt located the next mark. We crept into the anchorage by the railway bridge near Titusville in the dark, worn out by a really great day, mostly under sail. That night the fog really crept in and at 3 AM it was pea soup. Couldn't see the boat anchored near us at all, except for the faint glow of its anchor light. 

So the sun appeared for a bit today, in between and during rain showers. We are now on a mooring at Titusville and went ashore to stretch our legs. More wrecked boats here from Ian and Nicole. Probably about 10. Really sobering sight.

Happy Thanksgiving, Charlie

    1. I will talk to my tech advisor, Britt, and see if she can assist. And I will send a photo or two directly to you.
