Questions and Answers - Q. - How do you access the Internet?

In the question and answer blogs we'll attempt to answer some of the questions we're often asked in the hopes they may offer some guidance to others who are considering cruising.

A. - There are many ways to pick-up wi-fi while cruising.
On some of the islands "pay-per-use" wi-fi packages are available in the harbours.  These conveniently give you access in different locations as you travel along the island chain. 
Another method to get email is by way of a single side-band radio and modem.
We found internet cafes available in most harbours.  As well, bars and libraries are good sources.
You can also get a data package for your phone. 
When anchored off of large hotels we always had a peek to see if wi-fi was beaming out into the bay.
As well, we checked when we pulled into a busy anchorage to see if we could pick up wi-fi from one of the other boats anchored nearby.
These are the sources we're aware of though we're sure there are others.  Generally speaking, internet access was not hard to come by.
