 Hehe, whenever I mention that I’ve done an open ocean crossing solo where I literally saw the curvature they just disregard it with no real argument against that at all…

Pretty impressive mental distortion, that shit!

 That is badass man. How long did that take?  What kind of boat?

 Actually it is one of the shortest crossings where you still see both shores disappear, 55 nautical miles or so, around 12 hours.

Not hard at all in a 27 Vega!
