Could also title this thread "Why I(me personally) can't wait to get my family on the Delta". Thanks for sharing.

A Foggy Thanksgiving Weekend on the CA Delta
Had fog in the Carquinez Strait and Suisun Bay last weekend, but perhaps not as thick.* Used*the Kahlenberg controller for about half an hour during the worse part.
*
Al, is that the Antioch Bridge in your photos?

RE: A Foggy Thanksgiving Weekend on the CA Delta
Yes, that's the Antioch Bridge as we passed eastbound going home. The pictures don't show it, but the San Joaquin River was filled in parts by floating islands of hyacinth. It's normally pretty bad this time of year, but seems worse this year.

A Foggy Thanksgiving Weekend on the CA Delta
Hmmmh.* White boats don't show up too well in fog, do they.* Time to show lights.* Come to think about it.* I was the only one showing lights in my range of vision.

We're now back to bright and shiny in Carquinez Strait, so I needn't be jealous of SD or FL.

RE: A Foggy Thanksgiving Weekend on the CA Delta
Zero visability and dead calm for 1 1/2 days on Lake Huron.* Navigating through shipping lanes*and fishing areas*with the chart plotter, radar, running lights and horn. This was a great learning experience!

RE: A Foggy Thanksgiving Weekend on the CA Delta
When it gets real thick like that, I find the autopilot invaluable to allow me to concentrate more on the radar and chartplotter and less on having to steer a precise course. I tried watching the marinetraffic.com site on my smartphone, but the big boys near us didn't appear on the screen. I foresee AIS in my future.

A Foggy Thanksgiving Weekend on the CA Delta
On Carquinez Strait, anchored in the direction of Mount Diablo on a typical, fog-free day:

RE: A Foggy Thanksgiving Weekend on the CA Delta
First of all, Mark I swear, any chance you get you post pictures of your boat.
Second, Al did you catch any fish?* I missed it if you already said.*
and third Al, is it foggy the whole fall - winter or just on occasion?*

RE: A Foggy Thanksgiving Weekend on the CA Delta
I like to post pics of other peoples' boats, too. Like this...
and this...
and this...
and this...
And sometimes I like the gratuitous FlyWright shot...
We caught 5 stripers, but not big ones. This was the biggest.
