One thing will help a lot with your comfort in fog - use your radar on a clear day to learn exactly how to get the best resolution out of it. We have many very small fishing boats around here who have no problem being out in fog. They are very difficult to see on the radar if you haven't tuned it accurately. Particularly in the northern Great Lakes fog can be pretty specific to a location, so you can run into it even though it was clear when you set out, so it pays to have done your homework.
