How does that link apply to this island?
Might not but the concept of a natural eruv exists

The sea can be the boundary ala Teveria
and you can see the whole island from one spot

see this for an interesting discussion https://www.dafdigest.org/eruvin/Eruvin%20087.pdf

So for the ignorant among us, are you saying that there is a natural eruv here or that there isn't?

every thread is the halacha/Kashrus thread.
you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used to start a religious discussion

Fantastic report! Can't wait for the rest... How close was the nearest landmass?

Thanks.

South West Cay is around 0.8 miles away, Utila is 1.1m, and some other cays even further. Most of those are visible on the horizon (especially SW Cay), but all are far enough that you can't make out anything but treetops. Even with a 300mm lens, I couldn't see a thing. So yes, true and absolute privacy.
