If the Earth is flat and circumnagivation is a circle path, why has no one sailed straight across the earth?
I don't agree with the flat earth map, but if you try the circumnavigation by boat via the equator you do bump into a lot of land.
You could do it to the south of Australia, South America and South Africa as in the route of the Vendée Globe Yacht Race.
Here is the route:
