Living The Dream

Communication Update

04 September 2007
Just an update for those of you who are trying to get hold of us on Skype. We have not been able to get a wi-fi connection in any marina yet, apart from one, and have been using either coin-operated computers in bars or in marina offices. These computers do not allow Skype communication. We hope this will change when we get into the Algarve and Mediterranean but there is nothing we can do about it right now. We are looking into getting a wi-fi phone that will work with Skype so that we can take it with us when we are out and about in the hope of connecting to a wi-fi connection more easily. Will let you know how we get on. In the meantime, our mobile is on 24 hours and it only costs the same as calling a UK mobile (BT 13p peak and 8p off peak when we last checked).
