I was just watching a video on youtube by a young Aussie couple who bought a Bene in Turkey and are now in the Caribbean on their way home when in the latest video I spotted a familiar boat   I'm not sure if I'm following them because they started their journey near mean are going to where I would like to go or if it is because the girl Elayna is totally stunning and has a great singing voice. They love the fishing, both trawling and spear fishing and seem to get a lot of stuff. |

I'm anchored in another one of my favorite anchorages with a relatively good free Wi-Fi connection, but it isn't good enough for Youtube so I can't watch the embedded video. That was indeed Zanshin on Ile Fourchue in the clip!

Your avatar pic made the checking very easy. The Bimini and flag made it so easy.
Do you have a long range wifi setup? Mine works great for finding hotspots but getting on is another matter

Very pretty indeed (and I'm not talking about the fish).
I use an Ubiquiti Bullet antenna/router. It has the advantage that it is powered by POE (power-over-Ethernet), so that the conversion from an analog antenna signal to digital Ethernet is done right at the antenna and there's no loss of signal quality along the cable; so I get some distant signals using a 9dB gain antenna at deck level. Right now my signal is probably a household WiFi router located just over 1Km away and I still can do e-mails but watching a youtube video isn't quite possible.

Sounds like you have a similar setup as me. I have a wavewifi Rogue pro. It's also POE so it's ethernet cable from the antenna. Nice that you have a generous and unsuspecting homeowner within range |
