Chesapeake bay crossing at the bay-bridge tunnel (Norfolk). bridge is about
21 miles with 1 island and 2 tunnels (shipping lanes).

dense fog. stop at the rest area on the norfolk side tunnel.
deep throat fog horn tells of a ship approaching from seaside.
it looks like a mountain as it becomes visable over the tunnel passage.
what's that?

look bayside... a SUB has timed his departure so that he passes between us
and the tanker... only a sudden (even deeper) fog horn from him... 

the visability was such that we could see the sub for a total of  about 1
minute. 

bye bye bliven
