Internet access on the Great Loop
 
If I undertake this trip in my boat, will I be able to plug in a laptop
or get WiFi in an occasional marina or town or will I have to make other
arrangements?

I did portions of the Great Loop last year. WiFi is not universal. I suggest
that you get dial up number as a back up.

We had great luck using Public Librarys. No charge, and usually no wait. Almost
all the small towns had access. Some wireless. Rural marinas not as well
equipt. We most often would pull off on a riverbank or drop the hook. Than
take a mid-am break at the next town for a walk and e-mail. Good luck.

Thanks, excellent suggestion.
