Hold Fast! 2. The world as you know it no longer exists
15 people, 188 days at sea, one extraordinary voyage: Hold Fast! is the epic story of how sailing ship Avontuur and its crew were locked out at sea during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In the middle of the Atlantic, the crew of the Avontuur receive a satellite email with news from land that throws everything they’d been counting on to the winds. Their mission and schedule are in disarray, but turning back isn’t an option. So ship’s cook Giulia and the rest of the crew find ways to cope with the uncertainty.
