That's one item I'd like to find: a "read from below" compass - the kind
you mount on the overhead above your berth. Anybody have a source?

Not without spending ten minutes with Google...but I suspect that the
type of gimballed aviation compass of several decades back and
mountable on bulkheads would work quite well if you kept it away from
nearby steel deck gear.

Last time I searched, I only found one at some "elegant" place like Sharper
Image, or some jewelry place... it was very nice, but about $800. I can't
remember where it was, but if you find one, let us know!
