Yeah there are a couple of us! We've met one Canadian couple personally who run a SaaS and a few others that freelance and do other online work.

But actually we don't often talk about work with people we meet, it's the sailing challenges that usually connect us!

Yes! We got one last year but we didn't use it on the Atlantic crossing as we were trying to do a bit of a digital detox.
