About this eBook

 Tropical adventures. A rag-tag sailing crew. Running off-grid data servers? Sounds legit.

Devi Jones is a year away from graduating with a Computer Science degree and it's internship time. But usually the ship part isn’t quite so literal. She gets hired by Really Remote Desktop, a cloud data storage company that keeps their servers in odd places, like the bilge of a hundred-foot sailboat.

How can a homebody like Devi step on to a boat with six strangers and sail away from everything she has ever known? All while trying to do her best at her first real job? Being in a tropical paradise helps — but only until things start to go wrong.

For those who have not sailed off shore, this is a reasonable description of some of the transition. Thing is, nothing happens in the book. It ends before the characters are developed, there is no mystery or adventure that pulls the crew together...no intrigue with the servers or various govt entities.... Just a feel good passage from Nicaragua to the Galapagos... Hell, Devi never even gets sick.
