In 2020, we were young with no money behind us, just this sailboat as our home. But if we could live cheaply and find reception, we could set off on a circumnavigation of Australia. Now, years later, we’re celebrating the end of a chapter. Kicking it all off is the relaunch of our boat in Hobart. With sparkling topsides and fresh antifoul, we’re ready to splash and get underway, near and far, there’s just one thing that may stop us in our tracks. Enjoying the episodes?

SAILINGNAKAMA10 Over the years, we’ve been sailing a very thorough lap of Australia, and since we set off, we’ve always had below waterline leaks. We put off the job as not only was the leak fairly minor, but we may have lacked the confidence, money and time to do this upgrade. But now we’re in Hobart, Tasmania & we’re finally able to tackle it. We’ve been destructing & deconstructing our old boat that’s high & dry in the boat yard in the hopes all this destructive deconstruction will make her better. And finally, we’re at the point, of putting her back together. Enjoying the episodes? Becoming a Patron enables us to ensure the continuity of Slim & Soph - Sailing Nakama.

SAILINGNAKAMA10 We’ve pulled into Hobart, Tasmania, just in time for the winter. We needed a break from sailing, and our boat needed some attention. We thought it’d be a short stopover, but we’ve decided to stay until the weather clears again. Allowing us time to drag our boat onto land and give her some love. We’ve just spent the first couple of days beginning to deconstruct the boat and unfortunately in the process, we found a below waterline issue we ought to address. We're doing osmosis repairs and begin the job of replacing all our seacocks. Which requires bashing out holes in our boat. We're fully committed now. Enjoying the episodes?

It’s time to start cracking into the list of jobs that brought us back into civilisation. We’ve just arrived in Hobart, after tackling the west and south coasts. We were trying hard to get here for summer, but as we missed it, arriving closer to winter. It was getting cold, and things were beginning to break at an increasing rate. Urging us to call it quits and give into the alluring comforts the marina offers during these harsh winter months. Enjoying the episodes?

Some escape winter, we’ve just sailed straight into it. Use code SLIM to get 15% off your Simify eSIM here: https://simify.com/SLIM?c=1 We’ve just arrived in Australia’s coldest city, Hobart, Tasmania. Snow, ice, it’s foreign to us while aboard our 34-foot sailboat. Maybe that's exactly what makes spending winter here such an exciting part of our sailing journey. As the weather turns colder and conditions grow harsher, it’s time to secure the boat and settle into life attached to land. This is living on a boat through winter. Enjoying the episodes?

You won’t believe what we’ve just lost. It’s the sign we needed to finally give in. We need a break. After arriving to Recherche Bay, we're on the move north through the D'entrecasteaux Channel, stopping along the way at Bruny Island. But when we find we’ve lost another crucial component, we've reached a point where we can't keep going anymore. We're calling it and sailing to Hobart, we need a break. Sail in the next Osaka Cup!

The vast estuary of Port Davey is as large as three Sydney harbour's, yet it remains untamed and wild. Here, we’re at the end of Australia, and what an ending it is. There are no roads, no towns, no phone reception, and most of the time, no humans. This is boat life in the wilderness – deep in Tasmania’s southwest, halfway between the equator and south pole.

Could you live in isolation for the rest of your life? Somewhere with no road access, no shops, no neighbours. Melaleuca in Port Davey is deep within Tasmania's wilderness. Australia's most southern state. Here, the weather is just as wild as the landscape; Southern Ocean winds, relentless rain, freezing winters, that turn this beautiful wilderness into a harsh and unforgiving place to survive. Yet one family chose to call it home. We’ve just sailed here aboard our 34-foot yacht. Enjoying the episodes? Becoming a Patron enables us to ensure the continuity of Slim & Soph - Sailing Nakama.

A severe gale is on its way towards us, we need to seek out shelter, a storm anchorage in the mountains where we can stern tie to the shore for protection.

We’re closing in on the final miles into absolute isolation. A Raw, untamed, roadless corner of Australia's southern pocket of wilderness. There’s no easy way here. We’re sailing in - Otherwise, it’s days of hiking over rugged ranges, or a costly landing on a hand-built dirt airstrip. This is Port Davey, Tasmania, where the roaring forties howl outside but inside this huge natural harbour, we’ll be sheltered and free to stay as long as our rations allow. Enjoying the episodes?

We're the tiny boat amidst the battered west coast of Tasmania. Behind this rock is where we’ve found shelter, it takes the edge off the Southern Ocean swell. But, there’s no doubt, it’s remote and exposed. Boat life in the roaring forties is a new adventure for us, it's icy, yet exciting and we’re about to set off on a mission with a 2-day weather opportunity to get down this wild coast before the next blow rolls through.

In the early 1980s, deep in Tasmania’s untouched wilderness, 1,200 ordinary people were arrested in a battle that divided the nation. We’ve just arrived at the Gordon River, a 172 km long river in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage listed area. Our goal is to head as far as we possibly can upstream to the Frankln River to find out why this protest against flooding the region was so important. Enjoying the episodes?

We’re on a mission to reach a pocket of untamed wilderness in the 40-degree latitudes before winter closes in and the gaps between storms disappear. The west coast of Tasmania is one of the last surviving wildernesses on Earth—1.5 million hectares of national park, much of it World Heritage listed, and almost entirely inaccessible by road. It’s where dramatic mountain ranges collide with a wild coastline, hammered by relentless weather driven by the Roaring Forties. Enjoying the episodes?

It was the Kimberley that brought this to light for us, a huge area of untamed beauty, with no road access. Since then we’ve been on a mission to reach the other pocket of raw wilderness we have. The west coast of Tasmania, where around 1.5 million hectares of national park meets rugged coast, where largely, there’s no way in without trekking or sailing for days.
