My brother-in-laws are very good that directions. I've always admired
that. My guess is that they have a secret gland hidden somewhere that
senses the magnetic lines of force of the earth. I have no such gland
but that's not a problem. I don't need to know what direction is what.
On these islands all we have to know is which way is the ocean.

Major water can be a major help for orientation, but it can also be
source of confusion. I grew up just west of Toronto and we were less
than a mile from Lake Ontario. It was a fun place to hang out when I was
a kid.  The lake was always to the south.  Going to Toronto we could see
the lake to the south much of the time. The lake was south. When I was a
teen we moved to St.Catharines which is across the lake from Ontario.
Then the lake was to the north. It was confusing enough to me and my
brothers but it was especially hard for my mother who had grown up in
Toronto and she had more than 40 years of the lake being to the south.
