I did not realize that my radar would help them to see me. It helps me to see objects in my path though when fog is thick. I also have a radar reflector that I hoist on the flag halyard. That I hope may help others to see me a bit easier in the fog. Sometimes I have had my electronic gear fail me when I needed it most. I carry a handheld Garmin gps with blue charts installed in case my Raymarine chart plotter fails, which it has
