Wow the fog moved in overnight and it is really thick today. We departed at 1030 with the radar on and made our way out the Lahave river with visibility in the 500ft range. A few hours later the radar came up with an error message saying no data and we were back to a non-functioning radar regardless of the trick we tried we couldn't get it up and operating and we could really use it today. A short while late we had a fishing boat emerge out the of the fog heading in the opposite direction with a safe passing distance. Well Joyce and I were hoping that that would be the l;ast boat we would see today, but sure enough less than half an hour later we had a big sailboat come out of the fog on a collision bearing and we avoided an unfortunate incident by about 800 feet, I don't think the other boat even saw us. The rest of our day was very foggy but uneventful and we made it into our anchorage next to Carters island in Port Mouton at about 1700hrs. We emerged out of the fog which stayed about a mile off shore from our anchorage and as the sun came out I tried the radar again for the 50 time and it came up right away???? We had a nice evening (the holding was fantastic in mud) but the wind came up and we slept with one eye open checking the anchor periodically.
