What not to do in a risky situation at the beach?

Sun screen and lots of it. Apply more often than what is recomended. We bought a canopy to use this year. A well stocked first aid kit for cuts, scrapes and maybe jelly fish stings. Maybe water shoes incase the shore line is rough. I think the most important thing is to learn about the dangers of the ocean, mainly rip tides. Learn how to spot them and how to get out of them. I got sucked into one several years ago and had to be saved by a life gaurd. After much studying on them I always scan the water now before I decide on a place to set up for beach fun with the kids. Have Fun !!

How far can you see on the horizon?

According to Maryln Van DeSavant I seem to recall she said 7 miles. From basic geometry, you get that the distance to the horizon is D=sqrt(2Rh) where D = distance to horizon R = radius of earth h = height of observer, which would be the height of your eyes. R and h have to be in consistent units, of course. In feet the radius of the earth is about 4000 mi * 5000 ft/mi or 20 million feet. Standing on the shore, your eyes are maybe 5 feet above the surface, so D=sqrt(2*20e6*5)= 14000 feet, or a little under three miles. There are some other effects that make that number a little different. Refraction bends your line of sight, so you can see a little bit farther. If you're looking at an object on the water, like a ship, you also get the distance on the other side of the horizion that corresponds to the height of the target. ==How to calculate the distance yourself== To get an "approximate" distance to the oceanic horizon from a particular observation point, take the square root of the height of the observation point, add 22.5%, and that will give you the distance in statute miles. For example, if your eyes were 6 feet off the ground, and you stood atop a 50' tower, your observation point would be 56'. The square root of 56' is 7.48. Add 22.5% of 7.48 (1.68) to 7.48 and you have 9.16 statute miles from your eyes to the horizon.

Never. Sea water contains all of the mineral salts dissoved out of rocks, both by sea water and, indirectly, by rivers. The sea is a store of such slats and these mean the water can never be considered pure. Fresh water is water that contains virtually no salts.
