In this episode we finally get around to putting Starlink on the boat… and we couldn’t be happier with it!
We don’t have all the considerations that a residential customer might (our “dishy’s” view is rarely blocked from viewing the sky, for example), but installing residential Internet hardware on a 40 year old sailboat is not without some challenges – including more than one attempt at where/how to mount the dishy. It takes us a while to make some space, remove some old stuff, and get the latest technology on board, but in the end it was well worth it.
Our system has been running for a while (Yes; we have activated the “roaming” version of the Starlink service) all along the Florida Keys without issue. Hopefully this streak holds…
As always, you should know that we upload as regularly as we can… but only if we genuinely have something to post. We know that’s not exactly “algorithm friendly” but it feels right to us. Unfortunately, this means we may not show up in your feed as often as you want us too. To make sure you don’t miss an episode, please subscribe to our channel.
