After rushing around the marina getting the boat back together after finishing exams, we are eager to get back out on the water and sail back out to the Whitsunday Islands. We are exploring new territory, the pristine northern end. We are invited scuba diving with some newly found fellow yachty friends that have A LOT of dive gear aboard. We’re awake early and head over to Black Island where the reef extends and provides a beautiful soft coral wall. It has been a while since Slim & Soph have dived but Phil, being a qualified dive instructor had us down 15 metres with no trouble at all. Before the day reached midday we had already seen a whole underwater world. We cruise around for the afternoon, feeding the batfish off the back of the boat to wake again early the next morning to attempt to pick up a mooring at Blue Pearl Bay, where the moorings are limited and very popular. To our disappointment, there were no free moorings available, in 18 metres of water we dropped ALL of our chain. Only to turn around and see the boat behind us was dropping their mooring…we picked the 50 odd metres of chain back up and jumped onto the mooring. Now we can enjoy the beautiful bay that keeps hidden a secluded beach in its far northern corner. We think it’s the best beach we have been to.

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
