Dave K., I've never felt any motion sickness in fog. Although I do see how when the fog blends in with the horizon line people can be more prone to motion sickness. I did have a friend suffer motion sickness on a 40 nautical mile overnight crossing, but he hung tough and kept paddling. Generally, I avoid crossings with people who have a history of being seasick in a kayak. Towing is miserable work. Forty NM overnight crossing report: http://www.rollordrown.com/sbi.html I agree that in areas of small targets, currents, and low visibility, a GPS is a must, at the very least for back up, with checks on progress before potentially getting in trouble. I also agree that navigating in familiar waters is much easier. I'd be much more cautious in strange waters.
