Working while living aboard

I read a comment either here or another board that went something like this: 'Working while living aboard is kind of like being in prison minus the free weights and library." I'm sure the comment was made in jest, but since working while living aboard is exactly what I'm planning on doing for a couple of years, I would like to hear from anyone that has been living this type of lifestyle.Like most everything, I would imagine there are some pros, and cons? In another year I'll be eligible to start drawing a pension from a previous employer. My plan is to live aboard and work for a couple of years,sail as much as I can, save as much as I can, and then take off cruising full time some time shortly after my pension kicks in.I would appreciate any feedback from anyone that has been on a similar heading.

I am not yet living aboard (few weeks away only fingers crossed) but I have been working on creating income sources that will continue to generate income regardless of where I am.

For example, one of the things I have done is build a spreadsheet accounting system for small businesses and sell it as a download on my website and through eBay...

Now here comes the shameless plug...
