ACtually there are

Here in the Caribe we have met several people who own businesses operated from their boat.

One of them owns a small software company in AUstrailia. He provides software fixes via sat phone or internet if avaliable. Only ocassonally does he need to travel home. He does quite well.

There are several that have been funding thier cruising by being certified mechanics, delivery captains, and one who installs wireless networks systems around the Caribe. Several paint, make jewelry, teach diving. The list is long.

Point being that one need skills, imaganation and competancy with the ability to promote yourself. Most see a service that needs to be filled and fill it.

The only downside is there are a large number of incompetant people out there promotong themselves.

Good luck
