On ocean in heavy downpours

[bgreene]

D - especially since it was near dead calm on the ocean.

Heavy rain....no issue
Fog............. except for other boats, not too bad.

When the fog came back in later in the day, that was enough, and rode back in at 2,000 rpm.
Bad enough the danger of other boats, also to get into the inlet carefully to avoid the two jetties.

Surprisingly, a lot of boats stayed out hunting for stripers.....even with darkness closing in soon.

Last year, same area a big center console hit a drifting fishing boat, outcome not good.
Better safe than sorry.
