When I sailed on the Royal Clipper I was prepared for the "finding the height of eye problem." I brought some kite string along and a tape measure from IKEA. I tied the string to one of those small bottles of shampoo from a hotel and dropped it over the side from the bridge. I could feel when the bottle was afloat and I marked the line and then measured it off with the tape measure.
