Apologies in advance. I know this has been covered to some degree here, but I would like to have a total understanding.
What, if any, connectability can you have while undersail? I understand there is an extensive list here of bars and restaurants that have wifi, but as I interpret it, some of you here have iPads or Phones that you navigate off of? Are you doing this through a local carrier? I would ideally like to have something on board to check weather conditions, wind, swell, etc while planning the days trip. Is this a possibility while having only American connectivity? I have an ATT hotspot available to me, but when contacted they intimated that service would be spotty if anything while on the water. Additionally, their rates are way more expensive than purchasing an international plan for the cell.
Thanks for any direction you can provide.
