How fast with low visibility?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the basic rule above.

A vessel should go no faster than will allow it to stop in one half of the visibility distance.

Oh yes, there it is. Worth repeating though.

Can you even imagine being in that boat, at that speed, in that visibility? You'd have to realize that a crash is likely, if not even probable.

I wonder, if he would have been able to avoid the buoy, would that have been enough of a wake up call to terminate the trip, or would he have pressed on?
