William, In Southern California the cargo ships have always been good about giving one long blast of the horn every two minutes in the fog when I've been out there. I also listen really carefully, because I can hear the humming of the ships too. Also, your story is why I don't bother to use my radio to contact the ships. I believe it's totally up to us to avoid them. They really can't stop or turn very well to avoid us anyway.
