The Polynesians were masters of navigating the open ocean, the Summer Islanders are partly based on them. Along with celestial navigation, they could read the ocean currents and the sky (reflections on clouds) for clues that land could be nearby over the horizon.
We The Navigators: The Ancient Art of Landfinding in the Pacific
It is very dry and info-dense, but I highly recommend reading We The Navigators.
It details a wide range of navigation and landfall techniques used by pre-western contact Pacific Islanders.
