A presentation of the 2012-13 Fara Heim Expedition of Re-Discovery
- We talked about how Iceland spar “sunstone ” may have been used for navigation.It may be that the “sunstone ” was used by taking advantage of it’s ability to split light. This created the opportunity to locate the light coming directly from the sun even in fog or cloud.

I Talked to the Captain Today
I spoke with CaptainJ.D. Clifford Stevens Jr. today.
He is the last of the well known Captains of the multi-generation Stevens family on Lake Winnipeg.
He gave me a book of stories about the Captains on Lake Wpg. considered by many to be one of the most dangerous lakes to sail on because the combination of shallowness,current and wind makes short haystack shaped waves that can come up in an hour.
He and his first mate shared coffee and experiences with us. Good to know someone with so much first hand knowledge.
Thanks again!!!
