I always hope for wind in thick fog
In Response To: I remember hearing this one unfold on VHF

() Under sail, I can hear the lobster boats a long way off. If I have to motor, I do so very slowly. If the fog were so thick that I actually hit a lobster boat at that speed, it wouldn't do much damage to either of us. I rarely see fog so thick that I couldn't avoid a collision.
