I was tired, stressed and bored of tech so I learned how to sail, sold my stuff, bought a boat and sailed around in the Caribbean on a budget. I didn't work for a year and now I'm working on contract 6 months a year and try to maintain my boat/sail the other 6 months It gives me time to refuel and enjoy working in tech again.

That sounds like the dream. Is there anywhere you document the other 6 months?

I have an instagram account with beach pictures in it but that's about it. https://www.instagram.com/2marinsdeaudouce/
