Few people who haven't been to sea comprehend how big the ocean is.
Remember the bit in HFRO where Jonesy calculates the Atlantic ocean is
thirty times wider than his sonar footprint?


I don't recall that. They seemed to think that it was just a matter of
looking at a satellite photo and going from there.

I didn't want to get into a debate regarding actual coverage by satellites,
finding a dot (or if you're lucky a wake) out of so many, etc. And radar
isn't as magical as some would like to think.
