- Returning to life on anchor, sailing back out to the tropical islands.

After a week in the marina restocking Nakama's cupboards with food, installing an internet booster, getting a new dinghy and doing mountain loads of washing we are finally heading back out to live on anchor at the tropical islands that lay off the Australian coast, in particular, Great Keppel Island. We wake to a glass off and head around to the south side of the island and jump into the dinghy to go for a snorkel. Although we have just had the outboard serviced we break down in strong currents and we madly row our way back to Nakama, we realise we have no water and we are making extremely bad progress, we look around to see that we are basically the only boat around. Once we finally make it back to the boat we realise we should really be prepared for that to happen again and invest in a handheld VHF radio. Anyway, we fix the outboard and head back out for a snorkel, Slim spears a fish and we decide to head around to the North side of the island to escape a southerly that's on its way. When we think the day couldn't get any more chaotic we run aground and really wedge Nakama's keel into a sandbank, the biggest kiss of the bottom we have had. As we bang and crash towards the anchorage we finish off our slightly chaotic and slightly relaxing day off by cooking dinner on the fire.

Slim & Soph - Sailing Nakama just have fun out there aye bonus you don't have kids aye and sorry slim but soph is pretty damn hot must be hard work on that small boat but as you two have great chemistry with the camera and also don't mind the failures just as much as the wins I hope that many others jump on and enjoy your art and journeys around Australia keep it up and be good if you can't be good enjoy being bad
Oh no, the black anchor....
I hate Merc outboards too!
Haha, ours is temperamental at times that's for sure 😂

Cheers guys,hey what are the plans for monsoon season up there,safe sailing.
Cheers Dirk, good point. We'll articulate our plan in the coming weeks!
@@SlimandSophSailingNakama there’s the mangroves At cairns if you want to wait it out but it absolutely pisses down near everyday up there and being another La Niña year she will flog down,could get one of the el cheapo diesel heaters to keep the boat dry for about $170-200 pesos,I run my bugger night and day down here to give me that northern summer feel,sucks about five litres over three four days,bedding and cushions and clothes are dry and don’t smell wet and crusty and inhibits mould growth,easy install just need 2x90 deg brackets from hardware,best investment guys.night now.
Do feel like your ankle is fully healed?
No, not at all. Still have a long way ahead of me before I can say it's fully healed
Hey gang.
