That's great news guys, more so that you found your boat (possibly) in the Whitsundays. I live in Mackay, about 150Km from Airlie Beach. We are also just finalising a purchase of a boat from there. It will hopefully be ours by the end of January. We might even see you guys around in the Whitsundays. Keep in touch. We will be starting a cruising channel when we get our boat.

Hey guys...Good luck with new purchase...side note, Starlink will be the future for sailing comms for sure but do your research!...my wife attended seminar in Annapolis this year and was told the RV version will not be available forever...once all the birds are up and its fully operational you will need the marine version which is very expensive unless you have an income to justify it...take care, fair winds.
@jackdbur Жыл бұрын
That is the commercial marine version! & actually for commercial marine satellite internet its cheap. Once Starlink v2 sats get orbited there will be a consumer marine version. FYI with "Elon's" companies first release is usually the premium product with big mark-up, later they will get to the workaday version.
