The alarm went off at 5 a.m., still dark, oh please just one more hour of sleep. It goes off again at 6 a.m., thick fog outside, no thanks. Call a friend on the beach around 10:30 a.m. : "there's still fog, but it's definetely clearing". I go ahead and launch around 11:00, not a soul in sight. The sun came out and the wind held off just long enough before the fog came back.
To make a long story short, you should have stayed out, Chris. Report to follow

Oh yeah, one more vote for the combo unit. Go West Marine or regret it.
