Back in the day, before Loran C and Gps all you had was a compass and your BRAIN. Daily winds are normally from the NW, so the normal swell was too. Usually not much wind with fog so yesterdays wave pattern stays the same. Not too hard to get home if you are not in the shipping lanes. Coming back from Catalina spenT a few nights anchored off the cliffs north of La Jolla, F/F to watch depth, when we got to 30 feet we would anchor up and wait for te fog to lift, usually it would clear the next morning. Common sense still works.

Some friends told me about a trip they had where they went out of LA in a small sail boat in clear skies and the fog rolled in when the wind quit. They didn't have a compass and their kicker quit so they drifted for a couple of days and ended up outside of Mission Bay I think they said when the fog lifted. I guess the California current carried them down.
