The fog was dense all nigth, and sadly staid dense all day long too. In addition to this, the sea was dead calm. After more than 24 hours of motoring, it gets a little boring. I am sure there was still sunshine somewhere over the fog, but it was less than enjoyable when the second drizzling cold night approached and with 34 miles left to Dover, where we now planned to fill diesel and water and check the weather forecast, we decided to simply shut the engine off and leave the boat slowly drifting in the tide during the night. This way we would arrive in daylight instead of 3AM. We took watches anyway though, checking the radar screen for hazards every ten minutes. By now we were in the coastal inshore zone away from the heavy traffic. At once today we had 11 radar echoes simultaneously on the 6 mile-radius screen. Interesting as radar navigation practice, but hardly in any other way. The barometer is still quite high, but obviously we expected more from this high pressure sailing than slowly motoring with close attention to the radar.
