On last year's trip across the Pacific I discovered how nice
it is
to be away from all of that E-stuff!
Aside from an occassional position report (sent via SMS text
message on an Iridium Sta-phone) I was perfectly happy to
wait until the next port to check on Email, etc.
And this is from a guy who lives in the Internet and makes
his
living with Email - to the tune of more than 1000 Emails per
day!
There's just so much else to keep one occupied when
captaining
an older vessel and inexperienced crew across a 2000nm
passage.
:)
Here's a question for those who have made trans-oceanic or
offshore passages in recent years:
What's the best way you have found to send and receive
email while at sea?
