How'd We End Up Here?
Nothing prepared us for how a small mishap could lead to this…Merch re-stock! Check out our classic tees here 😊 https://slimandsophsailingnakama.com/
We’ve been completing a circumnavigation of Australia aboard our tiny sailboat Nakama, for a while now, but it’s taken us a while because we’ve been also getting our degrees at the same time. And also, because I keep saying yes to doing yacht races with my mum. Crossing the pacific to and fro, means we haven’t been aboard Nakama for a while. But we hope to return to her soon, But, when both Slim & I need to go under the knife…Well, it might just be a little longer that our lap is delayed.
