“It’s not always sunny in Barcelona! The very apt view from one of the super yachts we were working on their IT systems recently. This was server array expansions and increased storage for the ship data as well as better crew wifi spread more evenly throughout. Security and various connection & dns issues also sorted out over the time. Great coffee onboard to compliment the view : )”

Getting Internet on a Boat! The Cruiser’s WiFi Dilemma

Yachts are constantly looking for ways to get internet access when away from the dock (and sometimes when they are still tied to the dock!).

Most well-established marinas have high-speed internet connections available to connect with coax cables to a ships router. But as soon as you leave dock it becomes a completely different story maintaining any internet connection.

Typically, this means trying to connect to ‘open’ (unlocked) WiFi networks which is often impossible from close to shore, let alone farther away! Some restaurants and resorts offer their passwords if you are using their facilities, which may work great when you are sitting in their coffee shop, but by the time you dinghy back out to your boat, the signal is pretty sad.

There are quite a few WiFi-boosting solutions out there- from the Rogue Wave to the Wirie, which all offer different ranges, setups and features. These essentially are an external antenna that you mount outside of your boat and connect via ethernet cord to a router inside your boat to boost the WiFi signal coming into your boat, and creating your own password-protected ‘network’ from it. Again, you are restricted by the quality of WiFi being broadcast around you with this option.

it was also possible to integrate a cellular-signal booster into the mix. This means that in addition to boosting WiFi signals, you can also boost cellular signals to allow connection via a cellular provider’s data offering!

If you are like most people, you may not feel quite‘tech savvy’, to handcraft your own solution and buy all of the components you need to set them up on the boat.

UPDATE 2017: We have been using this internet boosting setup for over a year now and have sailed down from Victoria, through the Gulf Islands, Puget Sound and down the West Coast of the U.S.A, the Baja and up into the Sea of Cortez. We have been extremely happy with this whole set up! We …

Malware is still a threat. Windows 10 OS Yet another large scale malware attack has been reported.

To minimise the chance of getting infected and potentially losing your valuable data, follow these steps below:

Operating System

If you are not running Windows 10, your computer is more vulnerable to attack. Upgrading from Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 is free. Most computers that were bought with Windows 7 and above can normally be upgraded without issue.

Anti-Virus

Keep your anti-virus program up to date. We do advise paying for the software as “Free” versions of anti-virus programs do not always provide you with adequate cover.

Anti-Malware Software

Whilst you can not run 2 anti-virus programs on your computer, you can run separate anti-malware software. We strongly recommend Malwarebytes. http://www.firstpost.com/tech/news-analysis/after-britains-national-health-service-scotlands-health-service-faces-a-malware-attack-3975485.html

NHS Lanarkshire said in a Facebook post it was investigating and working to resolve the issue of a malware attack.
