ESCAPING CYCLONE SEASON TO FRASER ISLAND ON FIRE CH.12
With no autopilot but with cyclone season approaching, we make the call to head south for summer. Leaving Great Keppel Island behind we embark on our first overnight voyage on Nakama with an estimated 70 hours at sea hoping to get back to Tangalooma. Things don’t go exactly as planned and we find ourselves pulling in behind a burning Fraser Island. Looks like we are going to have to navigate our way back through the Sandy Straits and face the Wide Bay Bar again.

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
