Correct me if I'm wrong but to get the kind of bandwidth he will need to
download weather charts while at sea I think he probably will need the
things Mark mentioned.

Your dual network modems are nice but seem to only get high bandwidth
when near a 3g cellular network which will not exist out at sea. So he
would only be able to get a few kilobits/s of bandwidth using your
equipment. Enough for email or simple messaging but no graphic weather
charts or general web browsing.
