Starlink is finally useful aboard

Our Starlink has more than proven itself now and is an abolutely outstanding remote communications device. Here are a couple of shots from remote British Columbia today where there is absolutely no Cellphone coverage and very limited VHF due to the mountains and fiords etc. Starlink not only provides a solid 150+MB/SEC connection at anchor here which is astonishing for a start, but it also provides a comms hub for another boat about 100yards away (2 bars wifi signal strength) such that they could watch paramount +! I wnet ashore in the dinghy this morning, also had two bars, sent 8 high res photos back to my wife on the boat. Using Tmobile, wifi calling is also a breeze, and it works fine in the 100=150 yard radius from the boat, possibly more as I have not tested it further yet. In summary…Amazing performance. Our window pilot house likely helps and the starlink router is on the dining table so is about 6-7 feet above the water line. Cheers Kiwi
