WE ARE BACK FOLKS, and we are very apologetic that we have left you all hanging for the last five weeks…but if you’re reading this, we made it out alive. Finally, we can continue to showcase our trip over the top of Australia. Five weeks ago, we pulled into Lizard Island with our tiller held together with a fishing gaff and spare line. Upon adequately assessing the damage while safely anchored in beautiful Watsons Bay, we realised our tiller had rotted to the core and was holding on by its last thread. We got away pretty lucky to have made it here without further drama. We start throwing around ideas on how to repair the damage while offshore and miles away from a hardware store. Should we use a broom handle? Should we take our jerry boards off our bow? Or is Slim heading out to the forest with a hacksaw? You will just have to wait and see…we hope you enjoy this weeks episode and we can’t wait to get this show back on the road!

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
