actually, I'm very Spartan-like on my boat. I don't have much in the way of
technology (a gps, a compass, and a cell phone). Of course, I don't roam too
far from home.

We don't have any special technology on the boat to send emails or use
the internet while in Mexico. When we want to go online we use
internet cafe's, they are everywhere in Mexico. Back here in the U.S.
they are harder to find. Right now we are staying in a hotel that has
wireless. Some of our friends use Sail Mail while cruising but that's
just text email, no attachments and no internet. I personally like
not having the distraction of internet on the boat.

Is it possible to read the posts and reply to sailing.asa while
cruising. I
thought you had to be online to access news groups. If there is some new
technology, please educate me. If so I gotta get connected!
