Great story: the man who sailed around the world with no instruments (not even a compass or watch)

I loved it. This is an obituary from the NY Times for "Marvin Creamer, a Mariner Who Sailed Like the Ancients, Dies at 104".

No GPS for him, not even a sextant; the sun and the stars did nicely. He was the first recorded person to sail round the world without navigational instruments.

And here's a website dedicated to the man and the voyage.
