Can you imagine the likes of Captain Cook, looking up and cancelling his journey to discover far off world’s because of fog….
With all this technology today, and they still don’t run boats. Makes me smile
Good on you red funnel safety first when you sailed in fog in previous times incident happened peopled whinged so yes stop the sailings
