It doesn't work offshore.
He's not sailing offshore, just island to island.
Satellitephonestore.com. Iridium 9505A for $35/week and 120 minutes
for $1.39/minute. This is more minutes than I EVER use any phone for
in a month but I expect others to use it. My employees also sorta
freak out if they cannot reach me so I promised em I'd get the sat
phone.
