WHY WE STOPPED YOUTUBE | WHERE THE F*&K DID WE GO? PART 1

It’s been a while Youtube. This is why we decided to stop posting on Youtube.
For those of you that missed us, becoming a Patron enables us to ensure the continuity of Slim & Soph – Sailing Nakama. We’ve gotta cover the bills somehow and this influenced our decision to take a break from editing in order to finance the repairs. A little goes a long way to keep this production alive. With very little free time between uni and the boat, Patreon enables us to focus on creating and posting videos rather than pouring beers at our local. Thank you for your generosity https://www.patreon.com/sailingnakama

With things seeming to break on the boat quicker than we can keep up, a pile load of study and part-time work on top of this, we made the hard decision to stop posting to Youtube. After losing all our water-holding capabilities we saw no other way if we wanted to get sailing this year, which, sailing is what it’s all about for us so yes, it’s been a while Youtube but damn it feels good to be back. However, during this time we have been busy repairing and making upgrades to the boat and of course, we have filmed it all, so welcome to our mini-series ‘Where the F*&k Did We Go?’, where we bring you all that you have missed through this time. In part 1, we fix our water leak, make more electrical upgrades and start prepping for the remote sailing season ahead of us.
Slim & Soph xoxo

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
