I remember talking to a sailor in the BOC Solo Round The World race in late 1990. They all knew and talked over radio to each other about "something going on" in Late July and early August - when their GPSs started reporting much more accurate CEP numbers, which allowed them to much more accurately detect the ocean currents they were sailing in and position themselves most favorably in them.
