We’ve been at sea for 20 days, and we still have 3000 nautical miles ahead of us. But as disaster strikes in pirate waters it feels like we’ll never get there. Sailing across the Pacific Ocean is proving to be filled with many highs and lows. Being adrift in the doldrums, hasn’t been easy and it’s about to get a whole lot harder. This has been our toughest leg, so crossing the equator is a huge milestone.

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
