If you paddle a coast that can often have fog, you'd better know how to navigate in it. In my opinion it's like self and group rescues: You sure don't want to be in a position to need it but sometimes you don't have a choice. If you're not prepared for either rescuing yourself or dealing with fog, you're not adequately prepared for paddling at all.
