Adrift in the Doldrums: Storms & Bucket Showers (Days 12-18 Pacific Crossing)
AD Thanks to June's Journey for sponsoring this video. Download June's Journey for free here: https://cherrypick.gg/SlimAndSoph
The lack of wind in an ocean of endless calm is met with both celebration and despair. On one hand, it means we’ve entered the next chapter of our journey across the Pacific. But on the other, we’re adrift in the inevitable windless doldrums, working tirelessly for every inch we’re able to move the boat forward. We’re sitting ducks in the storms that surround us, and it’s a luck of the draw if we get hit.

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
