We’re currently sailing Australia’s deep south, it’s where coast meets the Southern Ocean. We’ve just arrived at the very last island before we set off for the biggest crossing we’ll undertake in our Australian circumnavigation, that’s the Great Australian Bight, 600 odd nautical miles of just ocean. It’s a daunting thought at the moment as the season is wrong for travelling west to east. So, we’re waiting for a low-pressure system to roll through, we need a strong enough storm that the wind temporarily swings westerly for us to cross. While waiting for such a forecast, we’re making the most of our the last of our time in Western Australia.

Slim & Soph - Sailing Nakama

Welcome aboard SV Nakama, We are Slim & Soph a young Aussie couple tryna get by living aboard our tiny retro sailboat with our cat Chilli. We sail the Australian coastline whilst attending university online and take you with us. After putting study on the back burner for years as we didn’t want to sacrifice adventure, we thought why not have both? Fed up with the outrageous rental prices in our hometown, the idea of doing it afloat came to mind. We figured we could scrape by on our tight student budget if we stopped paying way too much rent and lived minimally on the ocean, whilst continuing our passion for adventure. The plan for now, is to keep sailing onwards, keeping Australia to our left and once we're done doing that...Who knows. Our mission is to prove that anyone can do it, you don’t need the fanciest boat or a squillion bucks, just a whole lot of ambition and a willingness to make mistakes and learn. So join us on this whacky adventure! Slim & Soph xoxo
