Mike, I am presently developing a website specifically to provide many valuable resources to and for boaters, including a national marina directory among many other things. One of the things we intend to do is to encourage and make it easy for marinas to set up a WiFi system for use by both visiting and permanent boaters. The plan is to put together a package of equipment through third parties and even to provide installation if needed through a third party installer. Those marinas with WiFi would be so indicated in our Marina Directory along with other amenities they provide or is available. We do not intend to be involved in the purchase and sale of this equipment, only to set up the resource and packages, provide the information and a means of putting the parties together. If you would like to work together in this matter, please contact me off list.

This URL describes the basic process. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/guides/guide-display/-/4QB6M0XYFY5B /104-9249007-5424741 If you know of any lists of marinas that have WIFI or for that matter any marinas that have a public or even a private system installed, let me know. In the meantime, I intend to collect the necessary materials to guide the selection, installation and operation. To create a list of marinas that have such infrastructure and to encourage them to exchange information amongst themselves. In the meantime, "the rest of you" can pester your local marinas by letting them know that you think they should do this, but even more importantly have them post on their bulletin boards the information where boaters can find the nearest public usable WIFI hotspot(s). I intend to push this forward by pestering all the coastal harbor marinas that I frequent and help them get on the bandwagon. Regards, Mike
