So, have you ever sailed out of sight of land? And how far from land is that, anyway? Apparently, since the Earth is a sphere, there could be some trigonometry involved.
But in Florida, you can be out of sight of shoreside palm trees in about seven nautical miles.
By a dozen miles, even the high-rise condos and cell towers disappear, along with cell service.
The first time I sailed out of sight of land was heading toward the Florida Keys from Boca Grande.
I remember the most beautiful dawn the next morning and motoring south across a glassy, calm sea under clear skies with nothing but water for 360 degrees among dolphins and turtles and plenty of crab pots.
