This video used to never start at the beginning, so be aware. I love the beginning, it sets the foundation for the rest. I wanted to include this video, as I forget what I've found if we don't keep revisiting it until it become our new truth to replace the lies.

Hi Klevn,
I support questioning established wisdom, but my reasons for believing that the earth is round come from personal experience. I've sailed from South America to Australia, crossing the pacific, and all my observations led me to believe that the earth was a sphere.
If the earth was flat it would be impossible to travel from Panama to Brisbane setting a direct course. A sailor would constantly have to steer his boat towards starboard in order to avoid the ice wall.
Sailing from Galapagos to Australia me and my shipmate more or less kept the boat moving in a straight line for a month. We relied on GPS-signals, compass, maps, but also the stars to keep a steady course.
If the world looked like the picture in this post we would have crashed directly into the ice wall before even reaching French Polynesia. (Check out the blue course in the picture below)
If the earth really was flat we would have had to set a course similar to what I have drawn in red below.
I know I would have noticed making a huge turn to starboard instead of sailing on a steady straight course.

I've asked this question on a similar post, but didn't really get a reply. Why doesn't someone in the flat earth community get at sailboat and document the ice wall?
It would be an epic expedition with the potential to silence the "roundies" forever:)

there are already stories of those that went to find a way around Antarctica and found it took them 1.5 years to make the expedition.
