I'll do a post just for you, Joe honey. I hope it finds lots of hot spots. Maybe I can get on some of
them for free. I think most truck stops have wi-fi. I don't know, just guessing, but Scotty would
probably know for sure. Most marinas have hot spots. But they're weak and they want you to
get a slip so they make them weak on purpose. A good antenna should let you get reception even
anchored far away from them. It would be good on my boyfriend's boat when we go on sailing
trips.

Cheers,
Ellen


If you are crusing S. Florida perhaps you will meet Capt. Neal. He's
been hacking Wi-fi's for years, and I bet his airstream can be seen
lingering around the truck stops.
