For the last 700 nautical miles, we have been bashing our way south into strong headwinds on our way towards the Southern Ocean. The last couple of months of sailing to windward has taken a toll on the boat but probably more so on us. So, as we approach the civilisation of Perth, we’re looking forward to recharging our batteries as well as making a few upgrades to better prepare Nakama for the next leg of our circumnavigation of Australia, where we will be taking our 34-foot sailboat around the bottom of Australia and into the Southern Ocean.

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
