Several years ago I watched a one hour TV program on ancient navigation methods on
the Science Channel (was Discovery) or possibly PBS. It talked about how the
polynesians and other cultures of long ago used ocean currents, cloud observations,
flating debris, the stars, sun, etc. to navigate. Anyone know what the title of the
program was and how to obtain it?

Terrific. Thanks very much. I think that's it.

It probably was, but PBS does not sell the video. Strange. I think it's part of the
Secrets of Easter Island series.
