Seymour & the Atlas network

[Zurdo]

All ancient cultures studied the stars, and they were all really good at it - it was there to see every night. Lyall Watson of Supernature fame (I'm sure all you hippies read it !) also wrote a book on winds, tides, currents, and other forces of nature. He told of how the Polynesians navigated by stars and currents, currents being different to waves caused by wind and tides. The navigator would lie in the bottom of the canoe to feel the currents, or stand up and find the current by the sway of his testicles....I guess women navigators didn't have this advantage....or perhaps used other swaying appendages.
