Have sailed many a nautical mile for the GPS Teams Challenge, but the other day while driving along a stretch of straight road at around 80km/hr decided to hit the odometer to visualise how far a NM is. Was thinking it would be at around the bend in the road in the distance, but reached that point at around 1.1 km. As much as I know how far a NM is at my local sailing spots, it was interesting to see how far 1.9 km (ie 1.852) is when driving along a familiar section of road.
Worth a try ...
Hmmm, I think I'm suffering from windsurfing withdrawal during these windless winter months ...
