Ep. 23 Peplink come on board - Reliable mobile internet at the lowest cost no matter our location

    For me to be connected while being out sailing, Peplink is a must for me to keep my costs down. Yes it costs money to purchase Peplink's gear but it will save you many many times that by allowing you to connect cheaply to the internet via wifi or sim card before you actually need to engage starlink. It really is a no-brainer!
    Check out PEPLINK here
    www.peplink.com/
    Check out the routers here
    www.peplink.co...
    Check out the special dome antennae that can keep you connected up to 70km off shore.
    www.peplink.co...
    Yes I know they say on the website that it connects you up to 40km off shore but I spoke to Peplink's spokesperson and on recent tests it was keeping them connected up to 70km off shore. Now that is connectivity!
    Thank you Peplink for coming on board for the Elcano World Challenge.
    Give it a thumbs up if you liked this episode!

Such a great situation where you are able to be on the floor every day during construction. Something that would never be allowed in the U.S.!

    Mr Richard Duerk seams the right person at the right time older but trouble shoot and able to find out things that may go wrong plus fully qualified not sure about the Bikini idea though. Now need young men and women not afraid to learn and be able to now what to do and when including any emergency like another boat in real trouble knowing what to do to help in any emergency. No going overboard or Plucky will glue feet to the boat maybe?

    Peter, do some studies on, "Alum." Weld quality", I've noticed some "Flaws", "Anomalies", just looking at your videos, No.1) "Fillet-welds" cold-lap, not "tied-in" good. No.2) Putting a "Flat-weld" in a hull seam, then grinding most of it off? Does that weld have "Full Penetration" from both sides? 🤔

    Richard is very impressive, he's done a lot and has a lot of experience. If I were to do it, I'm very green in many areas. I'm a technologist in that I know radio and electronics. So, modern AIS and VHF cabling, and networking may be somewhat easy for me. I am a ham radio operator, vhf uhf hf and digital. I managed a satellite yard at a TV station. I've studied the hell out of modern sailing and own PV/LIPO systems. I make batteries, and like those best because I then know what is in them and can replace necessary components/ test the batteries and systems. But, I've only been on the water for short trips in Humboldt Bay and in the Pacific near there. I've tried to absorb as much about rigging/autopilots/shaft and proppellers/ steering / hull issues and zincs/ electric issues with motors / . From what I know of the Cell/Battery/Lipo issues world wide I'd think it would be best to completely secure all that equipment direct from the factories (China) and not try to export them . The times of shipping and those issues are terrible right now. They all come from asia but must be sourced directly (communication directly with factories) or there will be hang ups. Its a quickly changing market worldwide with , apparently, the sources in China.

    Peter, did you know star-link is half the cost if you buy it in the golf of mexico and get it shipped there, I bet you know somebody that could help you with that... I did not wanna say anything, Peplink will give you service (cell service) if you buy the equipment at an extreme markup? What?
