getting around in the fog

just curious what are u using to get around .....or back to the dock/beach when the fog is in or overtakes u???

GPS on my fish finder, it drops bread crumbs in the map view.

Eagle Cuda GPS/Fishfinder and phone pins...

GPS on the fishfinder.
Multiple mapping apps on my phone with a charging cable and battery backup.
Old school compass.
Trust your gear not your ear.
Too many times I've gone in circles in the fog.

Make sure you trust your GPS on the fish finder and follow it even if it feels counterintuitive. I also have coordinates saved as "launch spot" both on my GPS enabled radio and fish finder. In addition, I record each trip with my Suunto GPS watch and it will direct me to the starting point if needed. Lastly, there are apps on phone. If there's sun, that also a good indicator, even in thick fog you can usually tell position of the sun. I've been in thick fog at PC fairly close to the rock and you would think it would be easy to orient by surf and bird sounds but they appear to come from all directions. It's very disorienting so trust technology.

Deck mounted compass, redundant orienteering compass, FF gps, redundant phone GPS.  Rely on the deck mounted compass first and foremost. Then FF to confirm.

Getting around in the fog is easy and even enjoyable. Just make sure you have redundant everything and know how to use it.

If you aren’t intimately familiar with the location, go out with someone who is.

 Don’t forget a load sound device, listen for motor sounds coming up fast. Unless you want to start a new career as a bow ornament.
