SEE THE UPDATE IN EPISODE 81 – THE DIGITAL YACHTS SYSTEM HAS SOME PROBLEMS
Okay so some of you go sailing to get away from the world, but for cruisers like us our boat is our home and it needs to be connected.
Close to lane you you may get data with your mobile phone or tablet but it can be pretty sketchy and down below, especially in a metal boat your unlikely to get signal.
This video looks at a system we thought was the best around after some research. It allows you to receive Wifi at a much greater distance than you could do without it and when there’s no Wifi available or you’re our of range, can be switched over to receive a 4G signal, they claim, at up to 20 miles from shore. We will be testing that!
In any case this equipment will provide connectivity at mush greater distances from habitation and thats not just about watching Netfix. It’s being able to get weather reports, check google earth for terrain, get really useful information about ports of call and all the other things that make life easier and safer.
If you’re interested in this sort of gear then talk to Ben at Pro Marine http://www.promarinestore.co.uk/
He’s very helpful especially if you want various things boxed up and sent somewhere.
We get most of our boats bits from him now.

Sailing Fair Isle
We have sold our house in the UK and moved aboard our boat. She is a classic cutter rigged 48 foot Hans Christian; a very strong blue water boat more than capable of sailing around the world. Just hope we are! We are professional documentary filmmakers working for the BBC and many other TV stations around the world. Broadcasters aren't interested in commissioning sailing programs these days so we are launching our channel online. Sailing Fair Isle is aiming to be more than just a vlog showing our travels. It will be a travel log, but also a documentary style show with proper content and broadcast technical standards. That's the plan anyway. Lets see how it goes.

Cuba is without doubt the friendliest and most fascinating place we've been in the Caribbean - but somewhat surprisingly, there are hardly any tourists here (and they could really use more!). Cruising here on a boat is not like other countries. Officially...
