South Coronado from Shelter Island - with Ship Passage

From Swamis in Encinitas to La Jolla Cove

$Globe v Flat Round 3 Friday, February 10th Time-lapse of an hour of video shooting from the same spot on the Shelter Island boat ramp. Skip to 5:38 if you just want to see the final scoring without sitting through 5 minutes of wiggly land/seascape. Observed objects near the horizon migrated around the halfway point between flat geometric and globe geometric (no refraction) calculated position. Obviously, this was not a no-refraction day. (There never is a no-refraction day.) But even with all the looming and distortion, flat geometry struggled to overcome globe. But, it was enough to deny globe a 3rd consecutive win. Scoring this one a tie. Not a good day for distinguishing globe or flat; at least not based on whats going on at or with the horizon. Hoping, by now, the point that we shouldnt be seeing that islands southern tip on a globe is not evidence that earth is flat.$
