Celestial navigation

Are there any (old?) aviators out there in Ppruneland who are versed in the fine old art of Celestial Navigation? If so, where do I start? I have been trying to get my head around it for a while now (for my boating life, not my working life I must add) and despite owning an el-cheapo training sextant (Davis MkIII) and numerous books on the subject, without a hands-on mentor available to actually SHOW me what I should be doing, I'm still basically stumped. Any assistance in where I should start, from a practical perspective rather than a theoretical perspective, would be appreciated.
