Tilted horizon?!? It's perfectly level. Your eyes are playing tricks on you. No doubt induced by the angles of the waves and sails. Nice "perception" you got there. I bet it reflects itself in all of your snapshots too.

The better guide would be the verticals on the buildings. I've shot a bunch from boats and it's really tough to find level sometimes.
