No disrespect, but in my world any skipper who decides to venture out in fog is not only endangering himself, but also those unfortunate enough to be at the skipper's mercy. What you describe as a "nice option" is an essential piece of equipment for a true responsible skipper.One that I don't take a chance with just like my gear. There are plenty of heroes who have littered the shore because they knew "their" water.Tight Lines
