@Lafone Thanks - many of the earlier shots were far less impressive! :D

It was a fair way off and moving away when we arrived, but others there said it had been moving up and down so we hung around and it ended up only a few metres in front of us - the fog was almost negligible at that distance. The far side of the inlet, about 200m away, was fully invisible though!

And I can't take any credit for the find - it's been around a few days so I was acting on known info :)
