Foggy vigil

North Harbour Wall

Standing on the edge of the harbour from the North Wall, the fog was so thick that the harbour couldn't be seen!  Yet it was clear as a bell at Trumacar Stores! The Nature Reserve, Ocean Edge and anywhere west of Middleton Road was shrouded in thick fog. However, standing on the North Wall between 0650 to 0850 I was unaware of the clear conditions just a short distance to the east.
