That's kind of why I didn't try to write about them - you can't really just chug out a post about that level of accomplishment without actually taking time to do proper research. <br /><br />I've got enough free time right now to chug out a post about a personal experience - not enough to do the research I would want to do to produce a decent essay about Polynesian wayfinding. <br /><br />I haven't got the book yet (er, just in case anyone was wondering if I did or not), but I'm glad to hear that he covered the navigators of the Pacific Triangle. You could have a good book without them, I suppose, but at least in the eyes of this island-raised paddler, it would be somehow incomplete!bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-12990400698223682592011-02-27T07:27:11.568-05:002011-02-27T07:27:11.568-05:00I used to sell replicas of these in my shop - Paci...I used to sell replicas of these in my shop - Pacific Islands Trading Post - on Maui, back in the late 70's. The ancient navigators of the Pacific were the best in the world for many centuries.Pandaboniumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352197350806179930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-83434045493701222882011-02-26T13:43:40.185-05:002011-02-26T13:43:40.185-05:00As you might imagine, there is quite a lot in Tris...As you might imagine, there is quite a lot in Tristan's book about the natural navigational techniques used by the Polynesians, including a drawing of this actual chart.Tillermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639738519386820997noreply@blogger.com
