Interesting, not sure I'd want my crew being constantly connected. There was enough drama on the phone calls from the pay phones when in town every couple weeks.

Yep, I had enough trouble 6 years ago keeping the crew helping to erect a metal building for me off of their cell phones! I can just imagine crew on the deck, bringing in crab pots suddenly diving into his/her pocket to answer a phone call hooked up to wifi calling!

I consider being out of touch a benefit.
