Hold Fast Film Screening

The folks at OCSC, a sailing school in the Berkeley Marina, invite you to come watch a documentary and meet its director, a person with the intriguing name of ‘Moxie Marlinspike’, this Sunday, March 6. Hold Fast is a documentary about four broke young people who met up in Fort Lauderdale to find a derelict sailboat, fix it up, and sail off into the Caribbean toward Haiti. Non-sailors are reassured that they will enjoy this movie, as the filmmaker’s intention was to de-mystify sailing so that more potential adventurers might take it up. 

The good ship Pestilence was "completely wrecked" when the film’s protagonists got hold of her.

The event at OCSC will begin at 6 p.m., and a Q&A will follow the screening. Pizza, popcorn, snacks, sodas, beer and wine will be available. Admission is free but RSVP on Eventbrite or call (800) 223-2984, as space is limited. 

Many additional events of interest to active and armchair sailors alike populate the March calendar. Find more in the March issue of Latitude 38 or online here.

It could be the title of a B movie from the mid-20th century, but — to all reports — it’s a true story.
