    When i was in the Navy they told us the horizon was 15 nautical miles away


    A nautical mile is 1.15 miles.

    That,s why I said about 10n, land masses to starboard and port and time of day affect the exact distances.

    Aargh me hearty that be about 10 nautical miles.

    If you are at sea level 15 N Miles on a clear calm day
