The North Pole moves as ice sheets melt (Greenland is losing mass)

21. Damn, that must have been a confusing several minutes.

Your story reminded me of the first time I was navigating in pea-soup fog using radar. This was a couple miles up the Damariscotta River in Maine, before GPS was common. We had a bouy located on radar, and were trying to get a visual ID on it before steering a compass course to a mooring cove. There was about 30' of visibility. We would near the bouy, and lose it in the clutter at center of radar, shut down engine and listen for the bell. After a minute or so, bouy would reappear on radar astern or to the side of us. We would restart motor, idle that direction until bouy was lost in radar clutter again, and again stop motor and listen. Did this several more times. Finally, while we were stopped and listening, a crusty old lobsterman in an aluminum skiff rowed up to us and demanded to know why we were chasing him! He told us the direction to the bouy we were looking for, along with where we could go, so to speak.
