Is it a good idea? Well, that all depends on if you like instant ressing
or not. If you get killed or logged off you will not lose your boat. Your
boat is just like a house in that it needs to be refreshed. As long as you
keep both sides locked nobody can board your boat and move it from the spot
you put it in.
The best spots for mining from a boat are different on every server. You
want to look for a place that you can mine 2 or 3 spots on a mountain while
standing in 1 spot on your boat.
As for my comment on instant ressing, if some pleasant person comes along
and kills you while you are mining you'll need to instant ress to be able to
move your boat load of ore once they've gone. I am a boat miner and suggest
looking for a spot along the mountain north of Minoc. I've only been killed
along that stetch twice and have found some nice people mining from their
boats. Also, leave your keys and other valuables in the hold so that if you
die they don't disappear with your body. Unless osi has changed that.

You can command your boat while in the ghost state. You have to be in
combat mode to open the plank once you arrive on the mainland.

Thanks, I didn't realize that and have never tried that. Now I can stop
losing skill points.
