NAVIGATING in FOG in the Busiest SHIPPING Area in the World! | Ep 273
This time on Distant Shores we set sail from the mid-Atlantic islands of the Azores bound for the United Kingdom and the Netherlands where we encounter thick fog in one of the busiest shipping areas in the world! We explain our use of radar and AIS and the importance of knowing the Collision Regulations (COLREGS). Arriving in Dutch waters we have a rousing sail… and a warm welcome back to the builder's yard in Makkum Netherlands, completing an Atlantic Circuit of over 10,000 nm aboard our Enksail Orion 49 aluminum sailboat.
