We set out to leave Gloucester Passage in search for some diesel and gas, because we need both of these before we can make anymore further plans about our end destination! Upon leaving the protected Gloucester Passage we were greeted with appalling sea state and windy wind from the previous nights supercell storm that we copped. Our plan to pull up to a little beach, tender ashore and run across the road was thrown out the window as we weren’t going to be able to anchor, nor get to shore safely. Completely unprepared to sail we turned Nakama back around. Our next best option was booking ourselves a night at the marina to regroup, but that means turning around and heading South, although this does not align with our most recent adoption of a no turning back policy we made an exception as we are desperate for a hot coffee. A 5 hour coffee run (sail), now thats coffee desperation. After sipping cocktails with our feet in the resort pool we ponder on what we should do for the cyclone season and with only a week of uni holidays left we decided instead of beating into Northerly winds we would take it a little bit slower and explore the islands we missed around this local area. THAT MEANS, we are staying in Airlie Beach for the cyclone season in order to SAIL AROUND AUSTRALIA, yes thats right we are determined to circumnavigate Australia! I can’t believe we just said that.

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
