Holy Ship was almost a disaster!

With an inundated demand for the 2013 edition of Holy Ship a little known fact about the inaugural voyage is that it was almost evacuated on the first day!

In an interview with teshno involving techno’s Richie Hawtin and Grammy award winner Skrillex, Skrillex revealed an escalating problem towards the beginning of the boats journey!

“We hit a sand trap and got stuck! i actually heard behind the scenes they were going to evacuate – this was only the first trip out, coming into the first island. the start of the second day coming to bahamas from florida. they mentioned evacuating and i was like “oh no’ show’s over”.  we had 5 giant tugboats pulling us, scuba divers using chisels to break rocks under the boat. we finally got moving though!”

Ironically if this went down badly, it would have only been weeks before the Costa Concordia disaster off the Italian coastline!
