"We’re Ryan and Poppy — and this is Once Upon A Reef." In this documentary series, we sail through the Solomon Islands' Western Province, showcasing its unique culture, deep-rooted traditions, and the raw island way of life. With over 50 meters of visibility, we dive deep into some of the clearest waters on earth—but life here is about more than just the view. On a tight budget, we survive off the ocean and what we’ve brought to trade. If you’re into raw adventure, sustainable living, and untold island stories — hit subscribe. The Solomon Islands are one of the last places on earth where time seems to stand still. Over the course of this series, we navigate everything from the world's largest saltwater lagoon to remote atolls in the middle of the open ocean. It’s a journey of extreme highs and challenging lows—from volcanic cooking and secret blue holes to engine failures in crocodile territory and experiencing a our first cyclone on the boat in a place that should have never had one. Coming up in this season: Sustainable Living: Learning to forage, hunt, and trade for our daily needs. The Wild: Close encounters with hammerheads, sea turtles, and saltwater crocodiles. The People: Meeting the most generous communities on earth and navigating village politics. Boat Life Reality: The grit of maintaining a catamaran in the most remote corners of the Pacific. The Heart: The story of Solly, the kitten gifted to us in a glass jar in the middle of the sea. Come sail away with Skateaway. ⛵⚓ #Sailing #onceuponareef #SolomonIslands #AdventureTravel #OffGrid #BoatLife #Survival #PacificIslands #SailingSkateaway #Exploration #Documentary #WesternProvince

SOCIAL MEDIA http://www.instagram.com/sailingrubyrose http://www.facebook.com/sailingrubyrose https://www.tiktok.com/@sailingrubyrose MUSIC Epidemic Sound Artlist Hey there! We're Nick and Terysa and we’ve become completely obsessed with the idea of sailing around the world and sharing our experiences and information through our sailing lifestyle videos with others. We met travelling around India, and quickly agreed that rather than “settling down” and doing what most normal people do, we wanted to travel and have adventures! We moved onto our 38 foot monohull in 2014, sailed across the Atlantic twice, cruised the Caribbean, Bahamas and Europe, before buying a brand new 45 ft catamaran! We hope you enjoy what we do. Please subscribe, like and share.
