Email at sea

We used SailMail as our backup email and weather report source and were
quite pleased with it transiting the West Coast from Seattle area down to
Acapulco.

We found WiFi to be our most consistent internet access and never used our
satellite phone system except for a test call.  WiFi is so widely available
now.

passages in recent years:

What's the best way you have found to send and receive email while at sea?
