Interesting idea. Does sailing a boat typically allow for one to be immersed in coding for longer periods at a time (a few hours)? Or would you just park it while you work?



I suspect you would get the most done while in port. Like, this guy isn't working while he drives. Would pretty amazing way to see the caribean or med!


That makes sense - though with a boat, it might be reasonable to work while sailing, making it even more attractive. But I doubt that would be particularly realistic, w.r.t. internet connectivity, being able to pay attention to hazards, etc.


Modern yachts basically sail themselves on an autopilot. If weather is not rough you can do whatever you want, as long as you still keep looking around from time to time


staring at the screen while not in the calmest water isn't the nicest experience.


When you are on a boat for a while, you become accustomed to the motion. Certainly looking at a screen would not bother me at sea.

(there are exceptions - some people never do and they should perhaps stay on shore)
