It should have been a 6:30 start but I woke up to thick fog 10m visibility so rolled over and woke up at 9:00 visibility was now 30m . At 12:00 it finally cleared up and we motored out of the Lough on the last of the ebb and hit the dense fog just as we wee in the narrows , the yacht in fromt of us turned round at this point looming out of the fog 20m from us.
Entering the fog
The rest of the was was spent motoring checking the chart plotter and radar since we could only see 100m most of the day and entered the 50m wide channel at Donaghadee Sound perfectly between the buoys even though we could not see them.
Then suddenly the fog cleared and within 10 minutes we could see miles and the wind came up to allow us to sail the final 5 miles into Bangor.
During the fog we had another visit from the swifts which must have got lost in the fog .
