Boat wifi


Recommended Posts

2 degrees which I believe piggy back off the Vodaphone network is fake phone even in the Gulf.

Had to go cold turkey and stop buying stuff on Trademe whilst tucked up in my bunk.

Been clean for six months now and taking it day by day.

Gone back to old school looking at the sky checking barometric pressure with my tongue and wind strength and direction with my middle finger.

Boat speed and depth died and the thing that I missed the most was lack of sea temperature info.

No longer need to plaster my little princess with a galaxy of solar panels and infernally humming and whistling power generating devices.

If I need to communicate with someone I just row over and chat.

The world goes on in my absence my spawn feed and clothe themselves so happy days.

We bought new SIM cards in Fiji. Cheap as chips and worked great.same in Sri Lanka. I hear Indonesia is even better.

Thats what we should have done. Got put off in Tonga when every single person we knew had trouble getting it set up, with extra trips in to the shop to get settings altered.

 In retrospect  I think the vodafone users we knew would selectively turn on for day at a time  to get connected back to life in sunny En Zed. So they would pay their $5 for a days connection when in range.

What pissed me off was getting the Spark welcome to Tonga /Fiji text , accepting its invitation to sign up for a week for $20 ,and then getting no service.
