Default Power failures in NW

So what "WiFi" would be operating if they had a general outage? And exactly how do you hide behind water on a boat?
Crawl under the water tank?


Most local IPs around here have back up generators that kick on when the power goes off.
Then there's the cable TV internet that stays on when power goes off. Then there's the
telephone cable internet that stays on too. Duh.
Inside a boat your surrounded by water on three sides. All those bad rays don't just come
from straight up. Your awful crabby today. And picky. And wrong again. Take a pill Jeff. :-)
