assuming you can see much of it from 5 miles away

5 miles visibility across the ocean is no problem on a reasonably clear day, depending upon how tall these windmills will be. I used to sail off Mass, NH, and Maine (and elsewhere in the Northeast) and I don't doubt they'd be visible from the shore and certainly while sailing in Nantucket Sound.

That would have been my assumption, too. Just how much of an eyesore would they be? I suppose that is subjective. They could ruin your photographs, but I notice a lot of people are taking photographs of this new technology. The bottom line is you can make almost anything work for you or against you.

Just imagine Holland without those picturesque windmills.
