Getting INTERNET While Sailing The Bahamas | How We Stay Connected On Our Catamaran
We have to have High Speed Internet options while we are sailing & cruising the Bahamas and when Livingabaord the boat in the US. Charles job demands fast and reliable internet every day at speeds that are fast enough to connect to video calls and upload significant data files.
After a year of cruising, we are here to tell you: getting connected like this is not only possible, it’s not even difficult!
It’s my goal to answer questions for curious & new cruisers in a short mid week video. If you have a question or suggestion, pop it in the comments below!

Want more?! How about a little FAQ
âť“Why Folsom Ocean Views?!
⚓️Because Folsom is Charles’ last name and it’s a play on the Johnny Cash Lyric “Folsom Prison Blues”.
âť“Why a #Catamaran?
⚓️Jes gets really seasick while #sailing and the upstairs galley really helps when we #travel.
âť“You both work full time jobs?
⚓️Yup. Charles has a traditional 9-5 position as the Director of Customer Success and Jes owns her own business doing art commissions for clients. #WorkingandSailing
âť“Where to Next?
⚓️We are not sure. Part of the fun of this #DigitalNomad #lifesytle is that you can pick your #adventures
Love,
c & j

Folsom Ocean Views
Welcome to Folsom Ocean Views! We are two city kids that bought a 2017 Leopard 40 catamaran in the middle of a pandemic. Why? Because if we've learned one thing in 2020 it's that there is no time like the present. With very little prior experience, join us as we learn the ropes, or lines, and as we explore and experience the world. We spent the last ~20 years totally landlocked in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia. Charles made his way down to the Empire State of the South from VA Beach to attend college at Georgia Tech. Jes, a native Kansas girl, moved to the area in high school and eventually matriculated form University of Georgia. We met at our first job out of college in 2007, and were married by 2012. We are both still working our AMAZING jobs as a way of supporting our dream of living a bit outside of the lines. If you've ever thought about making the move from White Collar to No Collar, join us as we figure it out! More: FolsomOceanViews.com

BOAT LIFE: 48 AMAZING Hours in Spanish Wells

Pushing Our (Terrible) Freediving Skills To The Limit

Sailors Built This PARADISE Out Of Nothing

Sailing without wind instruments is a bad idea, right?
We would love to get sailing to the Bahamas, but our wind indicator is broken! And sailing our catamaran without wind indicators is probably not the best idea in the world. Especially when it will be more difficult to fix from the Bahamas. So let's get to ...
