It's nice to be back aboard TWL. This past I unsubscribed when it came time to move aboard our 44 Atlantic, Heart's Desire. As we did last year, my wife and I rented our home for a 4 month period to move aboard as a trial run prior to begin our cruising life come next summer or fall. Up until now we have not been connected to the internet or e-mail. However, I had been saving info from TWL members on how they connected. Last year a number of members indicated that Verizon was the way to go with their Mobile Office software and free internet service after 9pm and weekends. Thanks to Mark Richter's posts, this is the way we just went after my wife dropped her T-mobile phone overboard! Grat excuse to change plans!! So now we are using an LG VX-10 phone with 400 anytime minutes, 1000 mobile to mobile minutes , unlimited nights and weekends, no roaming from anywhere to anywhere on the Verizon network , with internet access all for 39.99 per month! We have had a great summer aboard and were able to take a 12 day cruise through LI Sound to ports like Milford, CT, Sag Harbor, Greenport , Port Jefferson and Block Island, experiencing probably the best string of weather of the summer. After upgrading Heart's Desire's systems and appearance for the past 2 years since purchasing her, she ran like a top the entire time. However, in keeping track of the racors it has become apparent that this winter will see the installation of a fuel polishing system. Lots of gunk and 2 filter changes in 40 hours of running convinced me this is the way to go. Anyhow, just wanted to say Hi and it's good to be back. Went through a case of withdrawal not being able to access the great people and info on this list!! Regards, Paul Schlechter 44 Atlantic Heart's Desire
