Learning By Doing TAKE OVER | A refit tour by us BONUS EP.
July 23, 2022 by Slim & Soph - Sailing Nakama | Language: EN Play Time: 00:13:03 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We have met up with @VernonDeckLearningByDoing. Vernon takes you through his most recent additions to his sailboat.
Vernon is taking over our channel, and we have taken over his to bring you our most recent additions to Nakama, you can check that out and the rest of his channel here https://www.youtube.com/c/VernonDeckLearningByDoing
We just sailed 24 hours to meet up with Vernon from the Youtube channel Learning By Doing Sailing. Vernon has just arrived back in Australia after spending the last 4 years cruising Indonesia, we love his videos for their raw, honest and easy-going nature which we feel captures the reality of a cruiser’s life and it certainly doesn’t hurt that he has sailed to some truly spectacular locations. We’ve both just completed significant upgrades to our floating homes, so while we’re both here, we thought it would be a fun idea to film each other’s upgrades to bring you a little something different. However, There’s a small catch, we are going to bring you Vernons upgrades, and if you want to see a full tour of our upgrades, you’re going to have to endure the pleasure that is heading over to Vernon’s channel.

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
