Navigation is an interesting subject! In the same literature there is also a lot about who 'discovered' America first, before Columbus I mean. I seem to have some good orientation somehow Even in huge places like America I never had an orientation problem hiking driving, mountains, oceans, in the wild.. But even in the Netherlands as small kid went far away from home parents would not believe it until I showed them some evidence They were just missing me all day, had a small bike. Same in cities. Maybe I have a bird GPS? Bird brain ? No Or ? I tried that sextant I have to get familiar with it. Do not have a boat ATM but who knows? But that precifellon tramp is killing crews of small boats all the time.. Better stay on land?
