After an incident with "Dwinger" the Island of Formentera is without Internet........... Yacht mishap plunges island into dark ages - The Local
The Dutch newspapers are saying that the ship was in an area where no ships were allowed. The anchor of the ship has snapped the internet cable to the island.......
Reminds me of something I almost did to Block Island on July 4th weekend several years ago. Sometimes we all get stupid.
The Island needs one of these....... http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn23721-googles-project-loon-to-float-the-internet-on-balloons.html#.UcIZ6_lvOZd
Owner of Dwinger claims the anchor got stuck, but a diver was called in and photos of the cable were made. Was a stainless steel cable, not an internet one. The Dutch owner also claims there were about one hundred other yachts in that bay: Niek Sandmann: ?Dat heel Formentera zonder internet zit, ligt niet aan mijn jacht!? | Quote
