Guess it's all about perspective.

If it's because you need satellite for business, I think we understand, the funds for those fuel and dockage bills have to come from somewhere and who better than you, should be minding the store. On the other hand it could possibly reflect on the quality of the help you've hired and their ability to manage in your absence.

Where, I think, this becomes a dichotomy for many of my traditional yachting brethren, is this over emphasis on dragging all means of entertainment with us on our boats, than travel vast (or half vast) distances to arrive at a new location to close the drapes, turn on the AC and watch a DVD.

Well, after saying this I realize I've been neither witty of succinct
I apologize, CskipR, for not helping in directly solving your problem, perhaps in an other way, I have

Wow thanks for all the advice. First all let me say that I am retired after working 42 years so I don't need it for business just like to stay somewhat informed. No I don't turn on the TV and close the drapes and watch TV except when I want to see something specific. Thats what I paid for.
Have a great day.
