I love the internet

Things have been slowly coming together here on the boat. The new fuel tank should be ready soon and I am hoping we get everything back together in the aft cabin. I think I have all of the replacement boards cut and we are going to go find some new headliner this morning for the finishing work. We are anxious to get going, but we also want to make sure we are ready and Brunswick is a good place to do maintenance work, as the prices will get more expensive once we get going south.
Wifi is included in the cost here at Brunswick Landing Marina and we are taking full advantage. We are using Skype all the time and spent 2 hours on the phone yesterday evening. We talked to our friends on Random Walk who have already crossed to the Bahamas and love it. We also are using it for research for stuff we need and to download our favorite TV programs. The latest episode of House is currently downloading. We are going to check into a product called "5 mile wifi antenna" that will give us a much larger range for picking up wireless internet as we travel around and we understand the it should give pretty good access thought the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
Attention friends and family: Air Canada has a really good deal on right now to fly to the Nassau, Bahamas for flights between Jan 6 and Feb 28 and if you fly Mon, Tue, Wed or Thur.
