THE VOYAGE OF A LIFETIME

[@bravofighter]

You two are so blessed to have each other. I absolutely love your videos, you’re not pretentious or instagrammish, you’re ACTUAL sailors out there getting after it. Perfectly lovely!

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Wow you guys! We’re not even two minutes in & had to jump in the comments that intro was SO good!! So glad your channel was recommended to us! Consider us hooked ⚓️

[@susangoodell6168]

You all have more enthusiasm in your vids than 95% of the other channels. Love that about you!!Cheers 😎😊

[@SlimandSophSailingNakama]

Hehe, we can't help it!! 😁So glad to hear you are enjoying the videos! and thank you for your lovely comment 😊

[@AndreNiemeyer]

Opening scenes and edit top notch, wahoo fish cake absolutely mouth watering, unmatched enthusiasm for sailing! Best sailing (authentic) storytelling period!!!

[@SlimandSophSailingNakama]

Awww wow, so so glad to hear you enjoyed the video! Thank you for your kind comment once again! appreciate it 😊

[@davidnichols147]

Wahoo cakes are delicious!

[@californiakayaker]

Maybe a spinaker is in your future if a couple more people jump on board your Patreon ? Michael S. It seems like Coriander would grow in a pot on a boat just fine.

[@Dreamtimesail]

After being on the go for months ourselves, we've now got the time to do some binge watching to catch up with your new season. Wow! What an ep to get it going. Really nice work guys. Beautifully structured. Oh and yeah. Wahoo is good eating. Cheers!

[@SlimandSophSailingNakama]

Love that you guys are getting a little binge in

[@willmiddleton9199]

I am just getting to the point where you catch the Wahoo and I want to yell "That fish is GREAT eating ! Keep it !" The trick to Wahoo is to be careful not to over cook it - it's a little like Swordfish - but is really lean meat and can get dry if overcooked. I've caught many and it is one of my favorites to eat. And Soph - that fish cake recipe looks awesome ! Never thought about doing that with Wahoo. Great episode thank you - can't wait to explore The Kimberly with you - that place looks *amazing* !

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

I've missed U guys. And luckily I found a fairly recent video I had not seen. WooHoo! I love to see U catch fish that U can eat. And have loved this Wimberley series. Thanks 4 taking us along. Safe travels ❤

[@craigstenhouse679]

Great episode...Congrats on making it to the Kimberley! Shall I make a suggestion? Yes, yes I should...Get some decent lashings on your jerry cans!! Bungys ain't gonna do the job when that big wave breaks over the boat!

[@Captainbazz2]

Fish cakes looked delicious Soph , try putting a teaspoon of green or red curry paste in 👍👍 game changer

[@johnkabel285]

This is a closer look at the Kimberleys than we have had from other channels, with better production values. Yes, another Aussie couple on the northern water, but with sanity and clear goals. And only 210 L of diesel! Good luck on the circumnavigation.

[@dasbongo4776]

Really enjoyed this ones guys, your excitement is very contagious

[@michaelwalker4439]

Keep ‘Em coming ! Love your enthusiasm 👍😎

[@SlimandSophSailingNakama]

Woohoo cheers legend, hope you enjoy the videos to come 😊

[@trevhedges]

Thanks guys!

[@SlimandSophSailingNakama]

Our pleasure!

[@jacana25]

I love the way you guys are really hitting your stride with video production just as you are heading into some of the most fascinating cruising grounds anywhere. I can't wait to see what is next!

[@SlimandSophSailingNakama]

Aw cheers Tim! Appreciate it legend, can't wait to share the Kimberley, it's hard to mess up the filming when in a place like this 😂

[@DarwinianUniversal]

Another great video. You know how big of a bugger those thrashing bleeding fish are when you pull them on deck. I've taken to spearing them as I get them alongside and hanging them off the cord until they've bled out and stopped thrashing. Its turned fishing from a task into a pleasure

[@SlimandSophSailingNakama]

haha where theres a will theres a way, we find our little short handled gaff to be handy as it doesn't get in the way or clutter up our rather small cockpit, but hey gotta do what you gotta do to get the fish in the boat!

[@hazzargooleypunch5805]

Yay, a new season of Soph and the Clever Carrot. Just keep that new chew toy away from the flat dogs.

[@SlimandSophSailingNakama]

Hahha! Yep, definitely

[@rogerbayzand4455]

Beautifully filmed and edited, congratulations. I was one of the people shouting "It's a wahoo, don't chuck it back!" I am with you Slim, it tastes better than a spanish. It's lovely to see the Berkley River again and I am really looking forward to your cruise through the Kimberly.

[@davidkumeroa2997]

[@arteepee]

I can only reinforce what others have said about the incredible intro! I thought I was watching the start of a major budget Hollywood movie! Perfect editing, with perfect synchronisation to the beat of the music! I've watched it several times already, it blew me away so much! Just EPIC! :-) Love your zest for life, building memories that will be with you forever. already looking forward to the next episode! Thank you for allowing us to follow along with your adventure. Fair winds and following seas. Richard (UK)

Magnificent guys, just loving it while we hunker down in 30 knot winds in Cairns dreaming of being in better conditions.

[@SlimandSophSailingNakama]

Ooph, boy. That brings back memories from last season! The conditions here are definitely kinda at the moment! Cheers for tuning in 😊

Watch out for then Croc's. So glad your journey has again begun and looking forward following your adventure. Stay safe catch you in next video.

[@SlimandSophSailingNakama]

Woo! Yep, some very special land. Cheers legend, looking forward to sharing more with you 😊

Done well to land the wahoo, normally they cut the line... boss of the razor gang. Have fun and don't smile at the crocodiles..... Stunning intro, well done the 2 of you... Aussies represent.🇦🇺 🫡✌️

we have been running a wire trace up here, doesnt help much with the sharks but has helped us keep a few more fish. thanks so much for your comment

[@richmeister1960]

I want to see the Kimberley!

[@davidh3194]

So, I’ve watched this episode 3 times and am still amazed at the quality of the content and editing. You two are epic talents! Love the opening to season 3. The Kimberies are awesome. Keep this us and you will have at least 50k subs before season 4. Cheers!

[@SlimandSophSailingNakama]

So great to know your really enjoying this weeks episode, and thanks for giving it a boost in the algorithm 😉. We have been blown away so far by our time here, cant wait to keep sharing it with you all. thanks so much for your kind comment

[@johnjenks4780]

Beautiful place to be , we sailed there in 2013 part of our circumnavigation. Watch the weather patterns for the west coast, some of the ports are hard to get in and out if the seas are up. In the Kimberley you can get fuel at the barge in Dog Leg Creek.

[@SlimandSophSailingNakama]

fantastic! you did the loop how epic! yeah were planning to stop by the barge ! and yeah we are excited for the Wa coast certainly going to be some new challenges along that coast that will test our skills, its amazing the difference between the coastlines and the different navigational benefits and hazards each place holds. I mean the tides hee in the kimberleys are wild, but the sleep and calm anchorages have been great!

[@johnjenks4780]

@@SlimandSophSailingNakama no doubt you have done your research on the waters around some of that northern area. there are places you need to pass right in the area of high tide as the different currents meet, and the areas of swirling waters. Stay safe.

[@thomasthornton5737]

😃👍👍👍❤ Well done and those fish cakes look awesome! Following from Seattle, WA. (Northwest USA same as you NW Aus)

[@neilcarpenter3781]

What a great episode, out on the blue. Great narration, can hear the excitement in your voices, love it. ❤️ The Kimberley... what can I say, one of the last untouched places on mother Gaia. So looking forward for your interpretation of this country via sea. Spent a bit of time in a swag and managing to get to the coast when I could. Kudos to U2 and keep the dream alive 🙌. Fair winds U2

Hi Guys we follow you regularly and understand dates of posting doesn't always conincide with actual dates, we're at the Twin Falls right now up the george just above the Berkeley River and would to catch up if you're still in the area. Cant get over the beauty of this spot, its kept us captivated here for 7 days so far. Robin and Susy SVsaltydogz

[@SlimandSophSailingNakama]

Hey guys thanks so much for your comments, so so stoked you have been vibing them, we are a little deeper in now, what direction are you heading, we have slowed down alot now with Uni in full swing so if your heading west im sure youl catch up to us at some point along the way 😂

[@saltydogz]

Unfortunately we must've crossed paths somewhere. We've just got back to Darwin and watching your next episode makes me cry as what you show is just how we experienced every day we were there and you make our yearning to return only more pressing and the feeling that we were so fortunate to experience such raw beauty. Have a few repairs to tackle then back there for sure. What do you recon? Or should we continue going east. We did miss a chunk of the mid kimberleys as we side tracked to Scott and then Ashmore Reef. If you can definitely check out Scott Reef - AMAZING, (Ashmore not worth the extra mileage). And certainly try to get to the Rowley Shoals, we spent 10 days there and could've stayed longer, we did have perfect weather to top it off which made the whole scene even more mind blowing.

Nice to see you out again after the big haul out! Love this channel ❤❤❤. The Kimberly is one of the few places I did not see when I lived in Australia for a year- I lived in Melbourne and rode my push bike from Cairns to Darwin, the bought a cheap car and drove back to Melbourne so I traveled it well! Thanks for the video!
