An offshore rig is being towed out to sea. What is the maximum distance
away that the navigation light can still be seen by an observer standing at
the shoreline? The observer`s eye height is 5`9", and the uppermost
navigation light is 225ft above the water.
 
Only slightly different from the horizon one we did the other day.
