In a word..... RADAR!
You never need it until that one time... then it saves your life.
Where RW, Willy and I fish (Sandy Hook area) we have ships that size coming and going all the time from Port Elizabeth, Port Newark and all the ports on the Hudson river.
Being out in a fog like that, in that area, without radar is simply suicide.
Glad you avoided him. That guys screws would have chewed you and your boat up into little pieces in less time than it takes to type this.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
