LIFE AFLOAT ON OUR SMALL SAILBOAT S1CH.42
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

We are straight into having dinner on Myles Beneteau, welcome to Milos kitchen…on the menu is a classic Sri Lankan feast…we have surrounded ourselves once again with friends who we didn’t think we would see for a very long time and we are starting to relax into our decision to stay in Airlie Beach for cyclone season. We are in Nara Inlet in the Whitsundays which is home to the caves that are marked by those that lived here for 9000 years, 2,500 year ago, the Ngaro people, the sea people. It’s amazing to think what life must have been like all those many years ago…Simon wakes up to find a nasty rash on his leg and we decided to go show a doctor, this means we made the trip back to Airlie Beach, the doctor said it would most likely heal on its own so we went back out to the islands…the next day the rash was even bigger so we made the trip BACK to Airlie Beach to fill the script we should have done in the first place. Nevertheless, it gave us time to make some pancakes! wooo! We didn’t stick around town for long, we pulled up anchor and made tracks back out to the islands. We had a beautiful sail until the wind dropped out on us and then decided to funnel through the passage and greet us with winds exactly on the nose. We are determined to find a place with great swimming water so we take a chance at Chance Bay and we are very happy with our decision. Oh and our outboard seems to continue breaking down on us…no worries though!
