Gash, as I said, "when you are not moving". An eight degree beamspread is more than adequate when you are not moving. In any of the three axes or directions. If you're planning to web surf, that may mean tying up or anchoring bow and stern. But if you just need to check email--five minutes with a solid link is more than most of us need.
Anyone can whip up an omni on the spot, but the high gain directionals need a wee bit more time and skill to build. Making it a good investment to buy one in advance--in case that's what you will need. Or not, if that's going to break the kitty.
