Does your compass show you where the other boats are in the fog?

That's the real worry...

I worry more about other boats not seeing me than anything else.

Same here.

Inshore I use my chartplotter to stay out of major channels. Heading out to Block Island, I get concerned that I'll come between
a tug and a long tow. That dipping hawser would be pretty tough to see in the fog.

Best regards,
Roger
