A Cessna 208B Grand Caravan on a cargo flight from Sacramento to Eureka flew a night visual approach over Humboldt Bay and entered fog with no forward visibility at about 100 ft. The nosewheel struck the water and the airplane flipped and came to rest inverted. The pilot was rescued, and the NTSB blamed his delayed go around.
