Specials for Yachts at Miami Yacht and Brokerage Show / Miami International Boat Show

* I am just reading the new Special Triton - Triton Today Miami as I just got the email about it. No doubt a lot of yacht people like The Triton as well as it’s a very respected paper in the yachting community.

The news has it that people-traffic might be a little slow compared to past years at the show, but captains / etc. say they are looking for quality rather than quantity of prospective visitors that may very well be yacht buyers.

Also docking at the show, was, rather challenging (as to be expected I guess) docking big yachts in very tight quarters - really taxes the skills and nerve of the yacht captains driving the boats going into the show.

There’s more than one show, reports the Triton Newspaper - there’s the one the Megayachts are going to: The Yacht and Brokerage Show (set up between 41 Street and 51 Street alongside Collins Avenue in Miami Beach) and the Miami International Boat Show housed primarily in the Miami Beach Convention Center. So make sure you don’t get confused if you are meeting someone there.

* * * * Alan Spicer Marine Telecom is offerring Specials on Marine Internet Access Systems and related installation (or consulting / support to install it yourself) - including fixing up (or creating) onboard networking for wired computers along with wireless networking for laptops and such. Times are Tough and Budgets are so tight they squeak - I think? Consolidate your installation consulting and support costs to a flat rate with Alan Spicer Marine Telecom - Yearly Consulting and Support Agreements. I’ll cut the cost of WiFi Hotspot Sharing Systems and Cellular 3G Internet Sharing Systems - with a sign-up for one of these C&S Agreements. Call me for details on this.

I always include documentation, network design, and support for new systems with every C&S Agreement purchased. I have done many a sail and motor yacht via remote consulting for Internet and Onboard Networking Systems. Installation by us is also available for Time-and-Materials or by a Quote - if desired. C&S Agreements are Telephone and Email Consulting and Support for 1 Full Year + 1 Onboard Visit 1 Hour in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida area - and they do not just cover gear you’ve purchased from ASMT - but virtually any Communications and Computer Consulting all year long (within reason of course.)

I think I am the Yacht Network Busters … a pun on the Ghost Busters … Do you have bugs in your Yacht Internet Access Systems? Do you have trouble with your Onboard Network? Call the Yacht Network Buster - Alan Spicer Marine Telecom. Have you had a captain or crew change? Do you need someone to come aboard and figure out what all the network and Internet gear tangle is? Call the Yacht Network Buster - Alan Spicer Marine Telecom. I can come onboard and untangle the wires and the wireless and document out what you have, what you need to fix, and what you need to replace … and give you simple operating instructions.

Thank You!

* Hello again -

Having a yacht in the Bahamas … I wanted to remind yacht users of the AT&T discounted rate plans for Laptop Cards (DataConnect Global), PDAs, Smartphones and iPhones for International usage.

You have to be careful so as to not run up a huge ($10K +) Internet Roaming Bill on Cellular 2G, 2.5G, and 3G Internet when roaming outside of the U.S. AT&T Customers can subscribe to discounted rate plans - that - TRUST ME - will come in a LOT less than if you roam on AT&T without it.

I talk about this on my Bahamas / Carribean Cellular Page:
