Computers, Internet, Sail Blog...

06 October 2009 | RSR (Children's Names) Apartments!
Becca
I apologize for my irrational outbreak and any evil thoughts, truly! Yet I am ready to throw the computer in the lagoon! We are up here way above the boat, renting from Jacqueline and Basil's RSR Apartments, with the wifi antenna tied to the balcony railing...we still CANNOT get a decent wifi connection!

I've had to struggle with our security program that crashed, downloading Internet Explorer 8 previously crashed it among other things, now it crashed again and I have to reinstall it....again! Really fun when you can't get connected for more than 5 minutes at a time and it takes a day! Glad I'm not a 'download' junkie, I'd really be outta my mind.

I'm learning the new camera software to downsize my images for the blog. That's more fun than I bargained for, but again, who do I ask?

The blog service has no idea why my posts are not making it onto my site! Then who do I ask? Is it the connection, me, the blog site?

We cannot get a good connection whether we pay for it or get it free...just stinks period on this island! The big chandlery Island Waterworld, offers great wifi, lagoon wide coverage, but they are NOW revamping their towers, yatta, yatta therefore no coverage there either. I'm so frustrated. It's been four months of learning PATIENCE and I'm ashamed to admit my failure in this exercise.

We'd love to talk to our family and friends on Skype, but everybody gets so upset with the bad connection we are afraid to call anybody anymore!

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!

Vessel Name: Altair
Vessel Make/Model: Tartan 34'
Hailing Port: Coconut Grove Sailing Club
Crew: Dudley Clark and Becky Butler
About: Dudley has owned this Tartan sloop and has been cruising on her since 1986. Becky joined the good sloop back in 2000 when we first started cruising together and he has been 'training' me ever since! I couldn't be happier! I've been sailing all my life, but cruising is a whole different fish!
Extra: This is the most extended cruise we've braved on this wonderful, old boat of ours which is planned to be about 2 years! We left Miami in late February of 2008 and want to get below the hurricane belt by the end of July! Ok, so it's July, 2011...we're close, but not home yet!
