Live on the water report. Independence 16 day

Nice! Is the Starlink a lot better than the old satellite system?

Game changer. You couldn’t do much with the old wifi. Starlink is like being at home we are watching the playoffs on tv from hurricane bank

Sweet! Nice upgrade! The old satellite was pretty sketchy!

 

[Cubeye]

Any other San Diego boats fishing with you?

And just think a few years ago, if you were not at the rail, you were reading a good book or watching a movie on the VHS player.

Update. The chef’s made a great spread today and we watched the football game and caught some fish. Not a bad day out here on the independence.

Fresh caught fish with nice view and football not a bad combination!!!

Very expensive sports bar- but leaves more room for the dedicated chunkers!

Just wondering. Does starling work for cell phone reception also???

Yes. Everyone on board is making calls with no problem. Like being at home on your phone

A 100x better... You can download and stream videos. Talk on the phone and text. Basically, everything you can do on land. With me not retired and a business owner, it allows me to put small fires out before they become inferno upon my return. Update my better half on the progression of my trip once a day. Watching an NFL game is a plus if it's on the right channel. On the way back up the line, it gets hit and miss as the boat is usually rockin

The tax man made his showing today. Still boated a few wahoo and tuna. Keep plugging away. Lots of the guys are watching the football game and a break from the hot sun.

I am definitely enjoying the reports! We plan on selling this place in a couple months and moving out eat closer to kids/grandkids. Told my wife if we do that I want to go on my dream trip...16 days...and she said "have at it". Hopefully I'll see you next year...on the water.

Good on you Gene, we made the same decision to pull up stakes and move closer to the family. It’s really nice to be able to just hang with the family and not have to press it all into a weekend visit. Now if I can just figure out how to get on a 16 dayer.

 

[Mike Nall]

I wonder if there will be a surcharge in our ticket price to offset the cost for Earthlink on the boats? . Earth link is not cheap.

It’s 130.00 a month. Starlink is cheaper than your homes WiFi.

 

[Mike Nall]

Does anyone know if the Excel or RP has starlink?

The entire fleet has it.

 

[Soda Pop]

Yesterday we had an off day due to that uphill current. Today is game on again. Current is flowing and everyone’s in on the action.

Down here at hurricane bank. Not a problem at all. Download anything. No problem. Watch the football game via starlink. Great game changer
