I work from my boat, currently at anchor off the coast of Copenhagen right here: http://maps.google.com/maps?t=k&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll...

An old IBM R40, some Philips monitor I got for free and a great view.

I have to confess some strong jealously. Maybe I have romanticized sailing too much, but if I had the money I believe I would live on a boat and code.


It's just like any other dream - it has upsides and downsides. I wouldn't trade it for anything else though, and I can't imagine moving back into a small box in the middle of a crammed city. If you're a bit of a handyman and know what to look for it doesn't have to be that expensive. I've written half an e-book on how to find, buy and live on a boat. Hopefully I'll get the rest done this summer.


What kind of boat? Pictures would be nice.
