Get yourself an UEB-362 USB wifi adapter for $70, a $100 marine wifi
antenna, a 15' USB cable and 20' of LMR-200 coax and you are set for Out
Island or any other available access point you find. The EUB-362 is about 5
times as powerful as a regular adapter and with a good antenna mounted That
can give you about 2 mile range to almost any hotspot.

The hotspot lookup sites list less than 5% of what is available. You should
find several in West End, New Providence, and Georgetown though you will
have much better luck ashore than on the boat. As Larry said, get a copy of
Net Stumbler so you can scout out what is available.

Glenn,
What is the status of your boat? I noticed you have not updated your
web site in a few years, does that mean the boat has been put on
temporary hold?
