Hi crew,
New here to the trawler forum, but not new to cruising. Like many of you I am an ex-sailor who spent years down in the Caribe aboard full time. I loved it.
Some time passed... I had to sell my sailboat, became single, and now I'm a working stiff again. But here is the rub, I'm still addicted to the nomadic lifestyle.
Now that I work, I need to keep working until I save up a boat load of money to take off and really go cruising again, but in the meantime I have a job that lets me work from "anywhere" provided I have good internet. So I've been racking my brain. Do I buy an RV and go road tripping (which I did for 10 months once), do I buy another sail boat and stay in marinas for internet and cruise the states/bahamas/etc.... Or finally... What is the feasibility of doing the great loop?
So I'm ignorant of trawlers, but they seem ideal for that journey.
I'm here to ask for your collective input on internet availability along the great loop or at least most of it. I'm pretty familiar with the gulf coast, but every thing else is a mystery. Can you get 4G on the hook in most places or will this be a marina hopping adventure?
What say you?
Warning: If you say YES! I'll have to relentlessly pester everyone for trawler knowledge and advice.
