In reply to Justin. >> There seems to be a need for terrestrial wireless internet for all the marinas down here. Looking to start a new business? Nope, I never want to be the guy whose phone rings when the network is down (or is perceived to be)

[…] after many boats toured, we found the right one. After making an offer, and taking her out for a survey and sea trial, the real test […]

In reply to Craig Payne. Our current plan is to stay in a marina and continue working for a while while we upgrade/learn the boat. The marina has decent Wifi, but we wont know how good until we get there and test it for some time. We have a backup plan of shared office space nearby, but thats another expense we would like to avoid. We actually have a Ubiquiti AirGateway device with a new 9dBi antenna that we have bridged to our internal network. Its been working great for us so far in the trailer. Planning on moving that to the boat when we get there. There seems to be a need for terrestrial wireless internet for all the marinas down here. Looking to start a new business?

Justin – your dad just gave me the link to this blog. I’ve heard a little about your plans in snatches of conversations at the recycling center (trailer, boat) but no details. What’s the plan now that you have the boat – hug the shore to stay within Wi-Fi range? ? Or will you both quit your day-jobs and head for the blue water? If you make it to Grenada I have a few connections still (and some sailor in Annapolis). Less in Swaziland (and it is land-locked).

P.S. if you need Wi-Fi gear I’ve been working at Ubiquiti on their “Unifi” line in Draper for almost a year now.

In reply to Merrilee.

No real estimates, but it’s a used boat. There is some leverage in negotiations, he really wants to sell, and we really want a functional boat. Many of the issues are standard maintenance issues though, Not much leverage there.

Do you have an estimate of repair costs? Hoping the owner is feeling
in a negotiating mood. Good luck!
