Improving WiFi on board
For less than US$2,500, Jim Leshaw, a lawyer who lives and works in Key Biscayne, Florida, installed an onboard wireless network that allows him to work from many remote locations. It was only 15 years ago that, while cruising in the Exumas, I met a man aboard his fishing boat, The Other Line. He explained that his aptly named boat permitted his assistant back at the office to accurately tell callers that "he is on the other line."

Lets face it, boat canvas takes a beating: it's exposed to the elements: wind, rain and sun…

Dockside Style - Jaguar F Pace S
Every once in a while as automotive journalist, I find a test vehicle that is just a suits my tastes just that little bit more than the others. Generally I am not a SUV kind of person, but the F Pace is just that little bit special in the fact that you have the room to put lots of gear into it, plus lots of room for four adults (five in a pinch) and best of all it handles like a sports car.
