My Father in Law spent last week anchored off Saba Rock Resort BVI and used
the WIFI they provide to those on the moorings. He rented the mooring for a
couple days so they made some money then anchored nearby and used it there
as well. When I travel I use airports, schools (many broadcast free
wireless by law) Micky D's, businesses,... on and on.

We have wifi from our cable server and I do not secure it. If the neighbors
use it that is fine by me. Speed is around 54Mbps, fun.

Wifi is a great thing and will become more available as time goes on. If
you find it use it, if they don't want someone on the wifi they can secure
it.

WiFi isn't that difficult. Depending on your version of Windows, you
should
see a 4 vertical stairstep bar icon in your lower right hand corner. If at
least one of these is green, it tells you that you have a WiFi signal.
Then
double click on that icon to show a pop up window, then click properties,
then click the Wireless Networks tab. This will show you which wireless
networks are being sensed by your WiFi receiver. If it is a pay network,
and
the title should give you a clue, then click on it and start your browser.
You should then see a sign up screen. Give them your credit card and you
will be in business.

Thanks, David.

Mine (XP) doesn't show that particular signal, but I did find the icon
that raises a list of detected nodes.
