After a gorgeous sunny day yesterday I woke up to heavy showers this morning and didn't expect to get much done. Between showers I brought my laptop to test the wireless internet on the way to shower room and found it to be still down. On the way back to Pachuca I saw Ricardo boarding his boat after taking his dog for a walk and asked for his help. Soon we were walking back to the marina office and he had is iPad in hand in order to test the connectivity.
After a brief discussion in Portuguese Ricardo told me that the wireless service that I had been using was no longer available, and that I should another one which was password protected. Ricardo successfully connected his iPad with the password that he had been given, then I tried the connection with my Acer and Bingo! I was back on the internet again.
I told Ricardo that without his help I may have been off the internet for many more days. I gave him my thanks and I could tell that he was very happy with help that he had given to me.
This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.
