Sailing and the flat earth

[jimi]

Listening to the Jeremy Vine show the other day I heard a compelling argument fotr a flat earth from a sailor. He seemed to think the edge of the earth was an ice wall. What happens when global warming melts the ice wall? Will all the water fall off the edge and sailing as we know it be a lost pastime?

"Around the globe"? Shurely not! Dotted over the area of the disc, perhaps!

So this must be why the value of secondhand grp boats has slid....

Apparently there is an intergovernmental conspiracy to keep us away from the edges :tears_of_joy::tears_of_joy:

Bring back Jimmy Young, there was never any of this rubbish when he had the show.

Never try to sail further than where it says 'Here be dragons!' ... :encouragement:

I'm going to check if falling off is covered by my insurance.

I was only wondering today how flat earth fans explain coriollis going the other way south of the equator, seen very obviously in their weather systems.
