    Need some help with a debate

    I need some help from the experienced boat captains here. We are having a debate here on the oilrig about how far across the horizon that a person can see from water level on the open ocean.

    If anyone have a formula or a place where I can go find a formula for figuring this I would appreciate it. Thanks for the help, I hope I put this in the correct forum.
