Fogbound in St. Johns, Newfoundland

Fogbound in St. Johns, Newfoundland
Best enlarged

The departure of the P&O cruise ship Grand Princess was delayed for several hours when fog rolled in off the Atlantic to smother the 'Narrows", the only entrance to St. John's Harbour, a narrow channel between the Southside and Signal hills. It has a least depth of 11 metres and at its narrowest point near Chain Rock is 61 metres wide. The ship has a beam of 36 metres and a draught of nearly 8 metres. I can think of many worse places and circumstances in which to be fogbound!

Cool Perspective! In St. John's we had clear weather but we experienced the notorious NFL fog at Cape St. Mary's;-)

Doug Shepherd club has replied to Jeff Farley
Many thanks for your kind words Jeff. I must admit I was quite happy with the result, given that it was taken hand-held at 1/8 second. Hands were a bit more steady back then;-)

All the best, Doug
