Brian... why on earth would you keep the internet connection open while
typing?
On the ship, write what you want using Word for free... then open the
connection, copy/paste into e-mail, and hit send. Uses less than 2 minutes
of actual internet time.
You can even open all incoming e-mails one shot... then close the
connection. Then read the e-mails once your off line.
