John Winters asked: How many of you paddle where fog can be a problem? I do How many of you know that you paddle where fog can be a problem? I know How many of you carry a sling psychrometer in your boat. If you do not have sling psychrometer do you carry an accurate hygrometer, a thermometer and the dew point charts? I don't Do you know how an why fog forms? Yes I have paddled a bunch of hours on a reservoir that was constructed in order to provide water for cooling a nuclear power plant. If I go there when the air is cold and there is no breeze, I can encounter fog. I've also been there on a very hot summer day, no breeze, when an inversion of some kind produced something akin to fog. The lake isn't particularly large, but it has lots of arms, and getting disoriented in the fog isn't particularly difficult. Bob -------------------------------------------------- Robert C.
