DO IT when YOU CAN, not when YOU'RE READY | Sailing to our BUCKET LIST island S2CH.3 Over the Top
We have learnt more than ever to do things when you can, not when you’re ready, that’s why we are heading to our bucket list island.
Becoming a Patron enables us to ensure the continuity of Slim & Soph – Sailing Nakama. A little goes a long way to keep this production alive. With very little free time between uni and the boat, Patreon enables us to focus on creating and posting videos rather than pouring beers at our local.

We have wanted to get to this place for years, and finally, a weather window has presented itself for us to sail to and anchor in this wide open to seaward bay on an island with spectacular mountain peaks. The persistent ocean swell leads to restless nights of sleep, but it is well worth it for the view you simply cannot achieve from land.
