Internet on the Loop

[_LifeInTheWild_]

I recently had to move to Florida for reasons of the ex variety. My sailboat is sitting on the hard on Lake Superior. I would like to sail it down, but I don't have that kind of time off of work. I am a remote software developer and I need to work at least 8 hours a day. Are there any devs or IT people working remote while looping or making a similar journey? What are you using? I need to make sure I have connectivity for the duration, or at least have the ability to plan for no service.

If anyone stumbles on this, I found a lot of info on the Great Loopers Facebook group. Starlink in motion for RVs seems like the ticket with a backup hotspot.

Starlink. We went from SouthTexas to Panama with it. Worked nearly flawlessly. Never lost a phone call.

For coming down the rivers or ICW I think they're the best. They've changed their policies to not include boat use without upgrading to a more expensive plan, but I don't see how they could tell on a river. The RV plan should work fine for that. And it's really fast and reliable.
