The furthest I have ever seen lights off shore Miami from about 50

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.

We were on that just today...frove out to Cape Chrales...noticed
that the whole bridge is lot at night. Good thing, too...would be a
heck of a mess if a container ship or aircraft carrier drove through
it! We stopped in the middle and saw some ships south of the bridge
but none of them sailed close enough ...was hoping one would go
through the Raods while we watched.
