You may find that the wifi hotspots don't always work so well during a power
outage. DUH! Then again, if the wifi is running on backup power, why couldn't he
use wifi and a laptop from his home. Why would he be better off on a boat?

Probably because marinas have wifi hot spots and neighborhoods don't usually. Unless you can
find somebody who didn't encrypt the one they have inside their houses.
