Internet at sea

The last post and this one are written possibly in the last minutes of mobile connection.
After that the only connection to the Internet will be our satellite phone that transfers data at 2.4kbps roughly 3000 times slower than the average lowest home Internet connection.
So we use this mainly to get our weather forecast and send sorry updates.

A small weather forecast takes about 5 minutes to load and costs 6 $ airtime.
A small small photo would take probably at least 10 minutes.

The boat at its best goes at 8.5 knots (roughly 15 km/h) și one could say life at sea is really slow paced.

At least I have a long time to think and read.
