While watching and listening to some former pilots and sailors, I have noticed that they have a good idea of distances- 'this many yards', or 'this many feet', even while moving at high speeds in their airplanes/ ships. This is something us 'landlubbers' seem to lack. Is there a hack to get an accur...
