For me it's not difficult if i'm somewhere between 5 deg N and 80 deg N.
But i'm lost on south hemisphere, because i know navigate only by Polaris and time.
BTW: Once i was lost in storm as you and i was searching Canarian Islands, because i badly needed refuel from Corrientes in Las Palmas.
I was zig-zaging sea about four days and set my course only from differencies in depth measuring. I missed islands a few times, so bad wather was. But everything finish good. You can imagine how lucky i was when seen light of lighthouse through the rain...
It was quite challenging experience :-)
