I took a job on a whim on New Year's Eve - and ended up stranded at sea for six months

Giulia Baccosi was stranded at sea for six months after taking a job on a whim on New Year's Eve, becoming part of an unexpected adventure aboard the Avontuur, a cargo ship journeying across the Atlantic. Due to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, ports were closing and the crew faced uncertainties about docking, resulting in an extended period at sea with limited contact with the outside world. Eventually, after 188 days at sea, the crew safely arrived in Hamburg, Germany, marking the end of their remarkable and challenging voyage.
