I am presently shopping for a liveaboard boat and plan to move aboard full time in 2019 and cruise the east coast while following comfortable temperatures and avoiding hurricanes throughout the year. I work from home and only need decent internet and mobile phone service to do my job. Planning to get at least one "Mifi" type device and at least one unlimited data account with a big carrier to augment my phone. If one device and carrier proves adequate, I won't bother with a second. I also plan to add a cellular signal booster to the boat. I plan to choose my anchorages carefully so that I can work from the boat with good mobile data service. I will have weekends off and 6+weeks of very flexible paid time off to move the boat around as needed/desired.
Is this plan feasible? Anyone here do the same? Is cell data service adequate on the coast? The coastal cruising I've done in the north east US has proven to have good coverage for typical smart phone use, but I have not really tested it for work purposes...
Do cell signal boosters work well?
