We live and cruise on a 12m sailboat.

Annually (last year): Boat maintenance/upgrades €2547, Food €2333, Marina fees (mostly in winter) €1335, Fuel €900, Cruising fees €664, Shorepower €350, Entertainment €240, theoldreader.com subscription €17.

Details vary a lot depending on where we are every year and what exactly breaks on the boat or gets upgraded. That year we anchored in Greece for the summer and spent winter in a Sicilian marina with a good discount.

Due to temporary limitations as the constellation is still incomplete. Otherwise, it will be perfect for boats.

They'll also have to fix power consumption. Now the antenna uses 3-4X the daily power consumption of _everything_ on my cruising boat.

I don’t think power consumption on Dishy is coming down considering it’s throwing bits to low earth orbits constantly with microwaves.

I have enough solar and batteries on my boat to continually power the ground station, but if I didn’t I’d operate it only when actively using the Internet.

God I'd love to live on a boat and code remotely.

I watched the sv delos video and was like... how do I make this my life?

There are a lot of people who live aboard a boat but don't travel too far, or only move a few times a year.
