How Polynesian Way-finders sailed the Pacific ocean

How do you think Polynesian way finders navigated the pacific ocean? Polynesian way finders used the sun,moon fish, debris, swells, and clouds to find the pacific ocean.

A way that Polynesians used navigation was through stars. The southern cross showed were the south but is only shown at night, so the stars were not help full at day time.

North star was a fixed spot unlike the southern cross.

Clouds reflected islands like lagoons. Big groups of clouds could  be above mountainous

islands. Clouds were very useful when you could not see the stars or the moon.

Since there were no stars at day they used the sun. The sun rises in the east and sets in

the west that is how they knew where the east and west was. They use the sun in the

morning and afternoon .

They had no map, GPS so they used the southern cross, bird and clouds to navigate the

Pacific ocean. They had to use this because it was the only thing they had.
