Working On The Boat
By Peter Kozodoy, Knots and Boats
Why didn’t I think of this earlier? We’ve all been so wrapped up in working on the boat, that I only just now realized that I could work on the boat! (continues after the pic...)

Working On The Boat: When Your Boat Is Your Office
What a wonderful age of technology we’re in. Thanks to email, cloud storage and a cell phone, lots of individuals can work wherever there’s wifi. Well hello marina with free wifi!
We’re all familiar with the home-office, and I’m sure we all would agree that a waterfront-home-office would be the pinnacle of all offices. So, why not a boat-office? And, more importantly, why did it take me so long to think of this!?
Here’s what you need to setup your boat-office and, consequently, lead a more fulfilling life:
- The willingness to not have to go into a boring, air-conditioned, artificially-lit dungeon
- A good working laptop with wifi
- A marina with wifi
- A smartphone (preferably)
- A tablet (if you want to be super-slick and have good flexibility)
- A virtual calendar (like Google Calendar) to keep yourself (and any co-workers) organized
- A cloud storage solution (like Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud) that has all of your files in case you need to modify, create, resend, etc.)
- A call-forwarding service from the office phone, if applicable
- Sunglasses, a hat, and plenty of beer (discretion, of course, is advised...you're still working remember!)
