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

It took us 10 months to sail here! We finally made it after broken ankles, broken boats and broken engines, to the iconic white beaches and turquoise clear waters of the Whitsundays.
We have created a Patreon account, if you have been enjoying this production you can help support it continuing into the future here https://www.patreon.com/sailingnakama
This week we wake in Macona Inlet in the Whitsundays, we are very excited as we are planning on making our way to Whitehaven Beach, a true Whitsunday Island icon, where white sand meets beautiful clear turquoise waters. Slim is determined to beat Soph in every board game onboard Nakama and is not afraid to rub it in. He makes up for it by cooking dinner and showing you all how to make our classically good, extremely simple flatbreads that are perfect for cruisers between bakeries or anyone wanting to get basic. We wake and swim in the clear waters before pulling up anchor to head to Tongue Bay to do the Hill Inlet lookout walk, where you can look down on the white silica sand, islands and water to gain a perspective like no other. This Queensland heat is starting to kick in, so of course, another swim does us good. Seriously this place is Australias Bahamas.
