My weekly posts intermingle sailing tales with the challenges, lessons, joys and intricacies of restoring 90-year-old STEADFAST.….please weigh in as we manage and learn from this unexpected joust. Thank you! ~J

Into the Mist – PassageMaker
Even the most experienced boater must acknowledge the risks that fog poses.
Into the Mist
Bob Arrington, Jan 27, 2025Comments from Cruisers (1)
- Reply to Winston
Great advise and suggestions: We were caught early one Sunday in a thick fog on the Chesapeake back in 1989 and used a watch for time, boat speed, water depth, and our paper charts to record where we should be along with two crew members watching from bow on both Port and Starboard.
Made it back to Annapolis without a big hitch although in our approach to Bay Bridge, the large dark area in the fog was a bridge pier not an anchored container ship "whew"… Should have known that given the water depth "LOL"
