Labor Day

Went out this morning for a few hours.  I caught a couple of small bass and then this fog rolled in.  The lake I was fishing is around 12 acres in size and the tree line in the pic is about 600 feet away from me.  This little lake is very stumpy so I just dropped anchor and fished from one spot for about an hour until things cleared a bit.  It was eerie seeing that fog roll across the water like that.

Wow, looks like someplace out of a Steven Kink novel. Creepy.

Cool picture! I was fishing from a kayak in the ocean one time amongst a bunch of mangroves. I had probably paddled about 2.5-3 miles and a fog like that rolled in. I freaked out a bit and just started paddling toward what I thought was the correct direction. Luckily I was right but I’m no ocean expert and boy was I scared 

Cool pic, I was LOZ this morning and saw the fog as well. I was sitting on my porch drinking my coffee enjoying view.

Well,  all of his novels are proofread by his editors for errors like misspelling his name. But I don't have his editors so, Voila! Kinky typos.

BTW.... Being from Maine he's a pretty famous fixture around here. My wife's brother went to school with him. Fun fact. Or maybe not so fun but a fact nevertheless.

It was a typo.. but a pretty funny one I guess.

Years ago I lived in a condo on the beach on Hilton Head Island and one fall night someone started pounding on my door. It was a frantic woman asking me to call beach patrol. It seems she and some friends were in a small boat on the mainland side of Hilton Head and got lost in the fog and by pure chance beached their boat. Because blackout curtains are mandatory (so as not to confuse sea turtles and hatchlings) there is very little light at night on the beach.

 

This was before the days of smartphones and they had no compass or charts. What they did not realize is how lucky they were that they had beached. I lived on the ocean side of the island, not the mainland side they had been navigating. If they had not accidentally beached the boat they could have ended up out at sea.
