MODERNISING OUR VINTAGE SAILBOAT | Where The F*&k Did We Go? The Final Part
It’s taken months to get to this point.
For those of you that missed us, becoming a Patron enables us to ensure the continuity of Slim & Soph – Sailing Nakama. We’ve gotta cover the bills somehow and this influenced our decision to take a break from editing in order to finance the repairs. A little goes a long way to keep this production alive. With very little free time between uni and the boat, Patreon enables us to focus on creating and posting videos rather than pouring beers at our local.

Last week we left you with a saltwater leak after having a new depth transducer installed. This was extremely disappointing and mildly concerning. Of course, we wanted it to be resolved properly and that means we need to be lifted again. So Nakama, after being in the water for 3 days, is now back in the slip for repairs and hopefully this time, the saltwater will stay where it should.
We are eager to show you what we have been brewing up in order to bring our 1980s sailboat into the 21st century. We have splurged on lots of new Raymarine instruments to change the way we sail on our old girl. Slowly and surely we piece it all together and after Soph spends 3 days straight on top of the mast, we can say that our 6 months in Airlie Beach for the cyclone season has just about come to a close.

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
