Is there WiFi internet access on St. John? Just renting a place there for a week, but have to be able to get online.
Hi Deb,
Might want to check with American Yacht Harbor or Crown Bay Marina, both have
Wi-Fi and GreenFlash, an extended high speed system. Crown Bay I think
serves St John boaters, and I think the last time I used it it was $9.95 per day,
$29.95 per week, and $79.95 per month. You will need a wireless card, and they
have those as well.
Just check in at either marina, someone will direct you to the guy that runs the
network. Good luck, have fun and let us know what you find out!

I believe Andrew is refering to:
GreenFlash Networks - http://www.greenflashnetworks.com/index.htm
Crown bay is on the south-west end of St. Thomas - its more likely American Yacht Harbor (on the east end) that might service St. John boaters since its much closer - but still some 2 miles of water away. Andrew, do they have a hub on St. John also that you know of or were you suggesting Deb utilitize the American Yacht Harbor area.
I had heard St. Croix was getting Wifi in some key areas- have you heard anything about this, I heard about it about a year ago but hadn't heard anything since.

Hi Islander...
Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year......as always, your the true source for all our questions...
I hope to be working with Brian (network owner on STT) and add GreenFlash to the StX yacht club when I arrive there. Nothing has been carved in stone yet, but one way or another, a system will be up and online shortly after I arrive (March?)....
Hope this helps answer some questions.
Andrew
