THIS IS AUSTRALIA'S AMAZON | THE WORLDS MOST ANCIENT RAINFOREST S1CH.52
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 leave our mates behind in Cairns and make a run for it to the Daintree Rainforest, the world’s most ancient lowland rainforest. For the next few days, we will be completed secluded amongst the jungle and away from civilisation, with the only way in and out via a cable car ferry across the Daintree River. This place is amazing for its attributes of crystal clear freshwater streams flowing through the jungle all the way to beautiful sandy shores where the jungle meets the sea. We’ve never seen worlds collide in such a fashion. We take this time away from phone reception to slow down and enjoy waterholes, game nights and the surrounding forest.
