A Potential Seastead: Monastic Life?

I saw a post at Byzantine, Texas about Russia's floating churches, and I immediately thought that this would be the sort of seasteading operation that Patri wouldn't think of, being religion averse and all.
There are likely a few places that could benefit from a floating church, and the next logical step could be floating monasteries. Due to the discipline of monastic life, it is far more likely that monks could handle the first iterations of seasteading, whereas families may not. I'm not sure how one would convince monks that it would be a good idea, but their asceticism would certainly increase the chances of initial success.
