Some folks are just naturally good at navigation. I read once of a small sailboat that had no business in an open ocean making the passage from L.A. to Honolulu. All the young guy had on board for navigation was a cheap compass and a high school Atlas.
Asked how he did it...he'd take bearings off the jets flying overhead, knowing they had to be Hawaii bound.
15 years old...returned to parents.
