Almost. Apparently if you climbed to the top of my chimney you can see the Isle of Wight. You can see it 200 yards to the left or right of me, from the road, but between me and the coast there's an enormous tomato growing greenhouse, blocking the view. On the other hand, it also blocks the south west wind, so it does have some uses. As a child I lived 200 yards from the sea in Christchurch. On a rough night I could lie in bed listening to the waves crashing onto the beach.
