I sailed with a 14 meter yacht from the Netherlands to Norway (straight up over the North Sea, heading almost 0°) and I always saw ships, oil rigs and buildings on shore first the top and then more and more of their height.

Damn you, I love sailing because I'm a prairie boy and the bigger the waves are the more I like them and I love Norway even if I have only seen pictures. Why do you taunt us land bound flat earth prairie people this way?.

The only thing amazing about this thread is that anyone bothers to read Johan's nonsense in my opinion.

Regards and happy sailing my friend, I wish I was with you...

Yes sailing ....


My experience is the same as Conrad


I remember showing my kids when you climb the mast  ..you can see
The ships heading into NY harbor climb out of the water
the higher you climb!!
About 15 miles or so depending on conditions the curvature would show on the bigger vessels
And approaching land/islands!


Or on very clear days look back towards NYC and see half a skyscraper in the water!
Actually during strictest lockdown here air got much clearer....

Yes the water is every bit the delight to see/sea


We need to keep it healthy!!


I love Johan and a few others writing here
And wish I had more time to keep up!!


Or sail!!( on foils ...?
