Thunder Bay harbor this morning. Ships still waiting on grain to fill their bellys full of the best grain ever from the west. Trains come by my home 3-4 times a day all with grain cars. One comes every morning at 5:30 AM giving me that wake up call as it crosses the road up from me. Not sure when the last day of shipping is this year but they shut down to do maintenance on the locks.

So beautiful! Ships look like they're floating in the fog.
 
In San Diego its called the marine layer and it is NOT fun or cool to see when you are returning from a 6 month WestPac. We were supposed to pull in a 9am, my wife waiting on the pier along with all the other families, and couldn't moor until 1pm.

If you find yourself not in that situation then, yes, it is pretty cool.

I grew up a Navy Brat in San Diego, I can attest to the thick pea soup marine layer fogs.
It was cool to watch it come in from the Pacific if you had high ground vantage point like Mission Hills or Point Loma .
It'd blanket the ocean and low lying areas in a tsunami of rolling fog

That there in the pics is very low to the water, and is what sailors call Sea Smoke.
It can be very much like sailing on a cloud if it's dense enough.
