No I was crew on a Vagabond 47. I've sailed on this boat several times
from the Chesapeake to Block Island and back down Long Island Sound.
This was the first trip to Maine or NS and like I said never in fog like
this. A new experience.

Did you take your Catalina 27 to Maine/Canada from Tidewater VA?  If so
I am impressed!

After just spending several days sailing Nova Scotia and crossing to
Maine (Shelburne to Portland) I'd say nothing compares to having a good
radar and chart plotter. I'd never sailed in real fog before and it was
quite unnerving to sail by radar and chart plotter alone, no point
getting adjusted to the dark and looking for lights it's thick enough
the bow is partly obscured in fog. I think you folks in Maine and New
England have some wonderful sailing destinations but it is sure a
different experience from the Chesapeake.
