another great sight.
I remember seeing that when I was in Tonkin Gulf, back in '72. Never
saw any St. Elmo's fire, but lots of that bio luminescence. Once we
were keeping station around a specific point in a dead calm, with a fog
bank centered on where we were supposed to be. Every time we came out
of the fog, it was time to turn back and take another pass. In and out
of that fog for three or four days. Boooooring!
we never went out during any form of fog. no radar or sonar on the boats.
yes, heavy fog tends to 'short out'/'suppress' St. Elmo's Fire.
"Tonkin Gulf" sounded familiar, so i ran a search.
you were there around the time of 'delimitation'. had it been 1964. it would
not have been so "Boooooring!".
