Tropical adventures. A rag-tag sailing crew. Running off-grid data servers? Sounds legit.
Devi Jones is an intern for Really Remote Desktop, a cloud data storage company that keeps their servers in odd places, like the bilge of a hundred-foot sailboat called the Byte Bucket. Devi and the crew are crossing the Pacific — not bad for someone who’d never even stepped on a sailboat a month ago.
Between rough weather, making peace with the rest of the crew and what looks like a hacker's attack on her servers, Devi has plenty of problems — and they haven't even made landfall.
