Radar.

After mid '41 cruising on the surface in heavy fog and heavy rain is just asking for trouble. Lost 3 boats in a row that way a few years back. Only one time out of that three did I even make it to the bridge before my boat was sunk. Then only to see the anchor of a Black Swan frigate looming over my head.... Next stop? POW camp.

Now I wait out those storms at 60m.
