A foggy day

Well you live and learn. Turns out Silver Dream had a radar reflector - of course it lived in the bottom of a locker as I never figured out what it was for. A series of metal plates which linked together to form an odd shape, I knew how to put them together but never understood the purpose. I even know now that is was an HYE reflector.

On a different tack ( ) I was reading today in an engineering magazine about a power cable to be laid from the Continent to the Isle of Grain. If you had to rely on a magnetic compass for night or fog navigation, do these cables make much difference to your readings?

None Ian, not even for a magnetic compass and certainly not for a fluxgate, might be handy to have some kind of instrument that could lock on to it though, one could then follow it
