We can't change the direction of the wind, but we can adjust our sails.

Kyle of Lochalsh is fine with Orange and surprisingly so is Loch Nevis
Not Loch Melfort though.

Re: Internet access afloat
Voda phone dongle worked well for most of the inner sound on my way south from Loch Maddy, in essence if you have a good GPRS reception on't phone, you can go online OK. However unless the reception is very good it wont let you Skype.
Now in the Clyde, passed Seminole in't canal, having a brew, unfortunately was passed before saw him.. We did wave
Tarbert has wireless but visitors are too faraway to get a reception.
By the way was very surprised at the extent of the pontoons here in Tarbert, it may be better facilities for us, however it has taken a little away from the character of the place.
Not grumbling though. not in this weather, Been very lucky this year when in outer Hebredes probably had best weather int country.
