Answer

When is fog most dangerous for boats in Mallorca?

Fog is most dangerous when a boat is close to land, entering a harbor, or moving through narrow channels where there is little room to correct a mistake. Early morning can be especially risky because visibility may be low and crews often rely on a mix of habit and limited instruments. In Mallorca, that combination can quickly become unsafe near breakwaters and harbor entrances.
