I have run into icebergs in fog and at dusk, where I could barely see them.

That's ok; you should have this happen:

BdU sends off a contact report: small merchant contact, slow speed. I go merrily sailing off that way to intercept. NO sign of a ship, just some icebergs.

Hours later I get a contact update. Same area, same contact info: small merchant, moving slow.

Again, no sign of a ship, just those icebergs.

Hours later, I get another contact report update. Same area, same contact info: small merchant, moving slow.

And again, no sign of a ship, just those icebergs.

Who knew that icebergs were on the Allies side? :rotfl:
