Ed mentioned : there came a power boat roaring up the lake, quite near to them, yet unseen,

I had a similar unnerving experience a couple of years ago on Lake Ontario in a 24' sailboat. We had a small outboard on but the fog was just as thick. Then we heard the sound of motorboats and not one, but five, large cabin cruiser types came roaring out of the fog, the closest only about thirty yards from us going at about 20 knots (they were on the plane). Very frightening especially as we knew that there must have been a good number(20+) of other sailboats out there with us all milling about waiting for the fog to lift so that we could start a race.
