It’s Near Impossible to Get Here (Wilderness Sailing)
We’re closing in on the final miles into absolute isolation. A Raw, untamed, roadless corner of Australia’s southern pocket of wilderness. There’s no easy way here. We’re sailing in – Otherwise, it’s days of hiking over rugged ranges, or a costly landing on a hand-built dirt airstrip. This is Port Davey, Tasmania, where the roaring forties howl outside but inside this huge natural harbour, we’ll be sheltered and free to stay as long as our rations allow.

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
