I was at the beach recently. While I was at the beach, I was watching a sail boat sail out to sea. This sail boat eventually reached the horizon, which was far away, so I the proceeded to watch the sail boat through binoculars. I watched the boat go even further. Suddenly, I realized I was looking at the top half of the sail. I was a bit perplexed. Finally, I watched the top of the sail mast dip below the horizon. Hours later, I watched this same sail boat come back over the horizon. Now I was very confused. I am a believer of a flat Earth, but it seems like this event could of only happened because either: the sail boat is also a submersible, or the Earth is curved(round). I was confused enough to ask the sailor of this boat if it was able to go underwater like a submarine. He laughed and said no. Why did this happen?
