Live La Vagabonde Update!
Hey team, you'll be pleased to know we have hunted down the best internet option for us to have onboard, it's a SIM card that works almost anywhere within the EU (European Union)! Mental hey! So when it arrives in the mail we SHOULD be able to do live streaming from the boat, but we will see how it goes when we receive it... I'm hesitant to make promises. We will keep you posted as this is high on our priorities list. We just want to chat with you guys in the comfort of our home, not in noisy cafes where the internet is also slow and flakey. Love ya, Elayna and Riley ❤️

I enjoy all your videos. Keep up the good work.
ooooo Love it
Sweet!
Man that is great news!
Check it out here: <a href="http://www.vodafone.it/portal/Privati/Tariffe-e-Prodotti/Tariffe/Tariffe-per-tablet--PC-e-chiavette/SIM-e-Piani-Internet-Ricaricabili" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.vodafone.it/portal/Privati/Tariffe-e-Prodotti/Tariffe/Tariffe-per-tablet--PC-e-chiavette/SIM-e-Piani-Internet-Ricaricabili</a> It's €35/mo, no renewal obligation, for 60gb. Here you can read how EU roaming is now free: <a href="http://www.vodafone.it/portal/Privati/Tariffe-e-Prodotti/Tariffe/Estero/euroroaming" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.vodafone.it/portal/Privati/Tariffe-e-Prodotti/Tariffe/Estero/euroroaming</a> I think you can also add an extra 10€/mo and have unlimited video on Netflix, YT, etc
Since June, all EU carriers must provide free EU roaming (aka even in the EU countries where they don't have direct coverage, they must offer you free data through a local carrier). The main carriers that have good coverage throughout Europe are Vodafone and H3G. Both offer unlimited data plans at €30ish/month if you buy in Italy. Feel free to DM if you want more info :)
That would be very cool
When you're in US or Australian water you can get one of these to boost your signal <a href="http://www.cel-fi.com/go/," rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.cel-fi.com/go/,</a> gives you up to 100dB extra gain, add a high gain antenna and you can get 3G/4G where others cant. AND it's legal.
Hope it works. I expect personal text messages from you guys every day if it does. ;-)
Good on ya!
Isn't technology great? I imagine being there with you & enjoy seeing your sights as you travel the globe, like explorers of old. Sail well, luv ya! & all who travel with you.
You might look into ordering one of these, I plan on getting one for the boat I just made an offer on (which was accepted) in St Thomas. Flying down in under 10 days for the sea trial and survey. :) <a href="http://www.thewirie.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.thewirie.com/</a>
So good about your boat Dan, so very good.
Awesome news, guys - can't wait!!
Sorry your live telecast was cut off , I'm sure that will improve with time. When you do get to the East Coast
Excellent! Live streaming from the Med....I'm a So Calif open ocean sailor landlocked in Dallas. TX...your video's are my only salvation!! Fair winds and keep the rudder down!
You kids are outrageous! That's why we love you. Lol keep up the great things.
6am here also in DC, but I'm off to the links; thanks for the wake up call. Sail on sail on
Ouch. Ouch. Ouch its 6:00 am on the east coast of the U.S. and I've got a big head. (Was at a BBQ yesterday and had many beers) but its worth the blinding light of my cell phone to read that. Count me in when your on. I'm going back to sleep now. It hurts.
If only we could have that sim card (unltd data etc) here in Australia
it's 40GB for 40 pounds Geoffrey (Vodafone UK)
EU regulations have changed on mobile subscribtions (not prepaid) to our benefit. they should work throughout the entire eu for a single rate. You should be able to get near unltd data and eu calls for about 25-30 euro monthly.
Thats the plan. If only you knew the hours we have spent trudging around trying to find wifi. FINGERS CROSSED!!!
Cool guys
Can't wait! :)

With a capital G.
Yay!!
