Wifi access on the water continues to improve very rapidly. Amost all
major marinas and harbors, even in the Bahamas, have some sort of wifi
service, some free, some not. Glenn Ashmore also reports good wifi
availability in the BVI and USVI.

One odd problem they have is they can't get two computers to share one
feed. They ended up getting a second antenna.


It can be done, either with a router, or Windows Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS). It may take some minor networking proficiency. There
are sometimes IP conflicts between the wifi client and the router if
they both use the same defaults. It's usually easy enough to change
the settings once you recognize the problem.
