Windy.app — the weather and sailing platform — published a profile on Alkin Tezuysal as part of its series on sailors around the world. The piece focuses on how the COVID-19 pandemic created an unexpected opportunity: with travel restrictions grounding most plans, Alkin bought a 40-foot sailboat from Turkey and spent the following months sailing the Aegean and Adriatic.
The profile covers the practical side — sourcing a boat during a global shutdown, learning the rhythms of long-distance sailing — and the personal side: what draws a database engineer to the sea, and how life afloat shapes the way he thinks about systems and resilience.
Windy.app is a meteorological platform popular with sailors, paragliders, and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.
