I got a mate that uses a satellite phone for e-mail while at sea. Says
it costs a bunch if you got a bunch of friends that forward the latest
jokes.
I wonder what an IPhone accessory would cost to operate? Maybe have
to forward all the e-mail through Apply?

Yes, I have never used a satphone but I've heard people recommend
setting up a special EMAIL account just for important messages. We
use Airmail/Winlink on SSB radio when we're cruising in the boondocks.
It is configured to only accept EMAIL from an approved list of
senders.

If you feel a need to spend your time on the Internet gabbing, blabbing
and what not like some hyperactive teenage female, then you are no sailor.
Just stay home and leave the water uncluttered for those of us who sail
for the sailing's sake and to get away from it all.

Limp Dick Warren doesn't sail.

friends and relatives that it is pleasant to keep in touch with while
bobbing around on the briny. While it is obvious that you lack these
accouterments it is equally as obvious that others do not.
And it is quite simply an ego trip, on your part, to believe that
living on a toy boat qualifies you as a sailor. Aquatic Trailer Trash
presents a far more accurate picture.
