Is it safe to row in fog?

Fog can be one of the most dangerous conditions to row in, as you cannot see where you are going and sense of direction can be muddled. Sound is distorted, making it difficult to determine where another craft might be. If you cannot see 100 yards from the dock, do not launch. If fog comes upon you, go slowly back to the dock and use a loud sound-making device to make others aware of your presence. Having lights on your boat can help you be seen.
