Remarks:
Today, more than any other, felt like we were flying through a cloud.
With fog and calm waters, it was difficult to see where the water stopped,
and the air/fog started; but for the occasional sea weed, or bird to give a
distance.
Visibility was less than 200-yards at 06:50 when we left Halleck Harbor.
