Looks good !
The merchant just running out of the fog looks phantastic !

Do you know whether your fog affects the destropyer visibility as well ?

(Reason for my question is i was recently running through dense fog and wave action, and did not see anything in radius of say 50 meters - but the destroyers sure saw me !
I still wonder if they saw me on the radar, or if ther normal eye visibility was not influenced in any way by the weather and saw right through it ?)

We were on tour in the Schlei estuary, and it really is an uneasy feeling in dense fog, especially if you have the engine on - you cannot hear anything and distant noise and any merchant coming out of the fog is a frightening sight, in a smaller sailing boat. I just can say it looks like the real thing

Thanks and greetings,
Catfish
