We came across the Ray Sand channel yesterday in thick fog - well, we were going to rely on the depth sounder and GPS anyway, so actually being able to see something would only have been a distraction, wouldn't it?
Tillergirl's depths were spot on (using times and depths of tide from Burnham) - thanks!
The fog was so thick that we passed between Colne Point and the port one beside it (Bench Head??) without seeing either, and within a cable of Outer Crouch, Crouch and Inner Crouch without seeing those either. We saw no boats or land between Mersea Stone and the entrance to the Roach, although we heard a few boats. It was an eiry experience.
