We had heavy fog this morning which
delayed our departure until almost 10 am, traveling 60 miles at
trawler speeds requires a lot of daylight. After the fog lifted the
weather was good as we passed through East Bay and into the canal
leading to our next port-of-call. As we approached the end of a long
day the sun settled below the horizon and another layer of fog
settled on our tired bones. Our last 3 miles of a 60 mile trip was
dark and difficult to navigate. The inside and outside of my
windshield was covered in a layer of dewey haze limiting my
visibility to that of a ninety year old man with 30 year old
cataracts. That wouldn't have been so bad except that I had to turn
back into a small stream which was only about 60 yards wide which
lead to our marina. Several people from the hotel assisted us and our
buddy boat, Kharma, in tying up then we promptly made a bee-line
to a local oyster bar for drinks and food.
