Has anyone mentioned the various esoteric methods used by the Polynesians - such
as wave interference patterns, bird observations, deep ocean phosphorescence,
etc.?

And I wonder if anyone made use of compass dip for artic exploration?

Did someone mention DECCA, and is it still in use?


Ah! Thanks for the memory jolt. I couldn't think of the name of it,
although I did come up with Omega from the murky depths. Omega has been
gone a while, I think the only Decca chain is still active in the North
Sea oil fields but is closing up shop in the near future.

I only used Omega a couple times in the distant past and don't remember
it as one of my favorites.
Loran A would fall into the "old" no longer used group. (just to mention
it).
