ok...lets get real technical now...if the swallows used RTK (real time kinematic ) DGPS (ie Trimble 4800) then i think they could navigate not only at night, but also with out looking out of the boat at all

of course rtk DGPS is around $nz80,000 which is a tad above the budget of most families...very accurate though.

it would also take all the fun out of it...
