Right?

How do you get a "20 mile horizon"?


Climb the friggin' mast..... like I do!


I don't know about a friggin' mast, but for most masts, climbing to the
spreaders get you (maybe) 36 feet about the water, which gives you a 7
mile horizon.

Do you do better with your friggin' mast?

Jeez... you have a 6 mile horizon on an average deck .... at aprox 3 ft
above sea level....

I get 49 ft on my friggin' mast!
