Hey Dave – I dumped the gear out of my KVH dome and mounted a Starlink Mini on a 2 1/2” pipe and pipe flange.
We left BI just after 10:00 and enjoyed a smooth 25-mile ride to Newport.

Thursday morning we made the 90-minute run from Mystic to Greenport.
We've never been to Mystic before and Mrs. Horne really wanted us to check it out.
