Hey there, I'm Steve 👋

I write about internet connectivity afloat 📡, marine electronics ⚡️, and other boating technology. I love testing new tech, taking on crazy electrical projects, and sharing my experience with others. I travel around the Salish Sea on board my boat Aruna and provide consulting, installation and training services.
