If it was dead calm, yes - but when your eyes are perhaps 4 inches above
the water in the trough of a 3-foot wave, and perhaps a couple of inches
below the water at the crest of the 3 foot wave, and the city lights are
6 miles away, there's a good chance you'll never even see them.

No, you'll get a glow known as "light pollution" from a city the size of
Milwaukee. The sky in that direction would be distinctly lighter.
