Fog without GPS

Every sailor hates fog. Even with modern electronics, it’s still a disorienting experience. Should GPS fail, it can be a source of major anxiety. It doesn’t have to be like that, however, and in this video I describe a couple of incidents in the days of innocence before modern aids. The second is a sure-fire way of defusing what has traditionally been a truly nasty situation. I don’t cover keeping an extra lookout, hoisting radar reflectors and the rest of the pure seamanship. This is really about fog navigation, keeping off the rocks and finding a safe haven. #fog, #sailing, #seamanship If you’re interested in sailing, things maritime and the salty road to freedom, you'll enjoy my channel, so pour yourself a glass of the finest and settle down with my personal mixture of yarns and useful instructional material.
