How did the mayflowers captain stay on course?
He didn't stay on course, but was blown off course by a storm. The Mayflower was to land in Virginia but ended up in Massachusetts. The ships of the time used a astrolabe, compass, and there is a strong ocean current that runs from Europe to the east coast of the United States. Once a ship gets into that current it will virtually carry the ship to the North American coast.

Odysseus was blown off course by a violent storm sent by the god Poseidon, who was angered by Odysseus's earlier blinding of his son, the Cyclops Polyphemus.

Additionally, encounters with various supernatural beings and temptations further complicated his journey, causing him to stray from the direct route back.
