Since I've been promoted to troll, here's a gem for you all that will scare the stuffing out of kiwiboy and his pals: Mt Taranaki
Distance 182 km (that's 113 miles!) across water, looking at an "object" that is 2518 m (that is 8261 ft) high. No mirages to bother us this time, what you see is what you get.
