The furthest I have ever seen lights off shore Miami from about 50
miles and I thought that was impressive!
This was just outside the entrance to Bimini?
There isn't much in the way of big city lights in eastern
NC. We have been anchored out, watching the evening sky, and
seen the glow from Belhaven & Elizabeth City. All is relative.
Years ago (OK it was decades) I sailed into the mouth of the
Chesapeake navigating by the loom of Norfolk (this was
before GPS). We could see the glow from about 20 miles out,
as we sailed closer we saw an odd pattern of moving lights
that appeared in the middle of the ocean and darted along
horizontally in an erratic way. Turned out to be cars on the
Bridge-Tunnel.
