You beat me to this post! I have been following her progress and daily blogs on and off for a few weeks now! She is now 58% through the journey. Go to https://lisablairsailstheworld.com/ and you can get links to her tracking, blogs and other stuff. Of course there will be the doubters, "It is a hoax!" contrived by the global elite, just as for the Vendee Single Handed Around the World yacht race, the Cape to Rio yacht race, the around the world cruises of the Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary ships, the voyage from South America to Australia of the Costa Luminosa ship, the Volvo Ocean race for yacht crews, the trans-Tasman yacht race, and of course direct airplane flights in the Southern Hemisphere!
FE'ers just cannot argue against these with their Azimuthal model!
It has became apparent to me that whenever a video surfaces showing the curvature or something happens that proves that the earth isn't flat it is IMMEDIATELY considered fake by the flat earth community.
I myself haven't seen the curvature, but I do know many people who HAVE on an airplane. (No curved windows, no excuses, it was the curvature). They're my loved ones, and I can trust them. I know with no doubt that the earth is a sphere.
Flat earthers don't seem to want to accept reality... they just want to believe what they want.
P.S. I notice that whenever sailing distances in the Southern Hemisphere are brought up, there is a total lack of comments from FE'ers, as they can't defend it with their models!

How can they be expected to defend it? What can they defend it with? The only avenue left open to them is to utilise one of the following:
It's a conspiracy
Lisa Blair is a paid Shill
Pour scorn on the whole thing
Pour scorn on the poster
Pour scorn on any one in the vicinity
Throw in a tangential comment to derail the whole thread
Or in this case ignore the post in the hope that it goes away.
Cool. She is "nearing" South Africa on day 66. Still quite farThe problem is that some smart aleck flat earth pops up with this sort of thing:
I wonder if she will make any local news here.

I suppose it is a good thing that the AE map is simply an example for basic reference, and not purported to be accurate. Unfortunately for you, it renders your argument irrelevant.
CircumnavigationAnd in the FAQ
The Flat Earth is laid out like the United Nations logo. The North Pole is at the center while Antarctica is at the rim. The continents are spread out around the North Pole.(http://i40.tinypic.com/ta3djl.png)Circumnavigation on an FE is achieved because on a compass East and West are always at right angles to North. Thus traveling Eastwards continuously takes you in a circle around the North Pole. East and West are curved
What does the map of the Earth look like then?
As evidenced by the logo of the United Nations the Earth is a round disk of indefinite dimensions. The geographic North Pole is located in the center of the disk, and the Antarctic lies around the outer edges.(http://i40.tinypic.com/ta3djl.png)
