WILD. not your average grocery trip, we just want some fresh food...S1CH.32
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’ve had some mysterious things happen to us at Shaw Island, a mountainous island off the East Coast of Australia. We are under attack and we’re on the hunt for the Jurassic culprit. It’s been really windy and we have been bunkered down, so when the wind looked like it had eased just a fraction we decided to put up the sails to go restock our pantries and water supply. Once we got away from the protection of the island we realised that it was still very windy. We had a cracker of a sail downwind towards Airlie Beach. Approaching Hamilton Island we experience the worst confused seas yet with swell coming from multiple directions and wind against current, Nakama was in a huge washing machine. We glided down the Molle Channel at 8 knots and to top it all off, close-hauled up towards Airlie, we can’t believe we finally made it here. Soph has a friend in Airlie Beach and she has let us use her car to do washing, shopping and even have a shower! After we refuel and top the water tanks, we are back out to the Whitsunday Islands which we can only imagine as a tropical Canada. Oh we also lose our drone, R.I.P.
