What nonsense. Put a REPEATER up on your mast!

This "bridge" is a point-to-point and point-to-multipoint repeater that
will interconnect your wireless anything, even a PDA to whatever nodes are
in range. Running 200mw, not 20 or 30, and having a high gain antenna
like:

its range is to the radio horizon, not 100 feet like your laptop.

(this one is higher gain, yet.

Low milliwatt standard 802.11 cards don't put out enough power to go beyond
the neighbor's house(boat?). These 200mw units do!

$144 for the unit + the outdoor box at the bottom, some cables and a $50
antenna. Cheap! Mount the box under where the shrouds meet the mainmast
and put the antenna up on top by the Windex. Then just feed it 12V...It's
plug 'n Pray.

If you leave its access open, everyone on your dock can use its repeater
function as it supports hundred of simultaneous users...(c;
