A yachties worst nightmare during whale season is accidentally hitting one as they lay sleeping on the surface in the night.
WE HAVE VERY EXCITING NEWS!
We now have a Patreon page for our biggest supporters. Check it out here https://www.patreon.com/sailingnakama there are some funny photoshopped photos there Soph has made of us.
This week we set sail from the Percy Island A-frame at around 3am and about an hour into the trip something seemed terribly wrong. With water splashing all around us the sinking feeling that we had hit rocks was quickly replaced with the shocking realisation that we must have woken a sleeping whale. A minor speed bump in the grand plan as we are on a mission to find some internet to catch up on our uni work. We finally have some luck with the fish and get a little tuna and a lovely mackerel for fresh fish and chips for dinner, among other things. We hope you enjoy this weeks episode. Slim & Soph xoxo
