Separating work Physically separating work from home may be almost impossible. Keep your work hours and don't work after hours except in extreme emergency. Don't be afraid to tell a client to call back during business hours. Again, time is your ally. Set your work hours and let family, friends and business associates know what those hours are.
Distractions abound at a marina.
I always think I have to run and look out the window to see what boat is going by. Summer at a marina or anchorage can be such fun that you will probably want to get out and socialize. Starting your work very early can allow you to quit a little earlier so you can join the fun. Some people don't enjoy being alone for most of the day. The marina setting can offer more chances for interaction than the typical neighborhood home-based business.
