We sailed from Cardiff to Wacthet on Saturday, via a lunch stop at Minehead. We saw some fog west of the Holms in the morning, as predicted. After tying up in Watchet we went for a walk on the coast path and at 6ish saw loads of fog all around the channel. This was not forcast on the VHF at all during the day, does it happen often?
I have sailed quite a few times around various parts of the Channel and not seen it before. Are there any particular weather conditions that cause it to form? I had a handheld VHF with me on the walk and heard the Swansea Coastguard talking to someone about it, he gave it a name which I didn't catch.
