Bet it is fun.

Fog and wind don't seem to be two things that would be together. But I have seen fog blowing thru pretty good.

I would like to get in it myself. If,,, I mean when I learn to get on the water.

BTW, thats a cool pic. Would scare the crap out of someone to see a big object coming out of the fog on a erie morning.

It was wicked foggy. I kept expecting to see some ghost pirate ship come out of the fog :o ;)

But once you were about 1/4 to 1/2 mile from the beach it was a sunny, blue, hot day.
