What is Boat Brain?
Research shows being on the water can improve happiness and health

Did you know that…
even famous entrepreneurs use the formula for success ‘Blue Mind‘?
Richard Branson a visionary and early adopter started working remotely from home back in the 1970s.
His home was a houseboat in London where he had his team meetings instead of having them in a stuffy corporate office meeting room. Richards’s inspiration and creativity to launch multiple successful businesses came to him while working from his houseboat on the water.
