Transitioning North to South VFR/VMC along the west coast of FL at 5,500' 3 miles off the shore line, you get the hand-off to Tampa Approach:
"NXXXX, do you have the shore in sight off your left wing?"
Get that one all the time. How could I not have the darned thing in site? I've got to say "no" sometime.
Pilot: "No, I don't have the shore in sight."
Controller: "Ok, look at the big blue blob and you'll see it."
