That feeling when you get off the ship and you've fixed the VSAT! — in Surabaya, Jawa Timur, Indonesia. ...

This was stormy the scene over the back of the tender for our technician as he went ashore from a yacht anchored off Ao Po Grand Marina, Phuket, Thailand this week. The visit to complete a PM on dual TVRO and dual VSAT systems. ...
