I grew up in San Francisco, so I’ve always thought of fog as my friend, my reminder of home. That is, as long as I’m landlocked. Step on a boat, and fog is a different matter.

With reduced (or no) visibility, you rely on radar, AIS, GPS and your own experience. Still, fog can be scary. Here’s some of the best advice I’ve seen from a weather expert about how to predict fog, and then how to cope once you meet it. If you need to be reminded of what truly scary fog bank looks like, see the video.
