Preparing for the crossing to the Solomon Islands 🌴 — but nature doesn’t always cooperate! Cyclones are approaching, and finding a good weather window is getting tricky. While checking the boat, we discovered a small crack under the screecher pulley. A closer look revealed more damage than expected, so it’s time for some serious fiberglass repairs before we set sail. 🌊 Watch the full adventure in Clay Pot Fire Cooked Feast (Ep22) on Once Upon A Reef. 👇 Subscribe for more reef stories and island adventures. 💙 Support the journey on Patreon! #OnceUponAReef #PapuaNewGuinea #IslandAdventure #OceanAdventure #PacificIslands #BoatLife #SailingLife #TropicalVibes #OffGridLiving #NatureLovers #SurvivalSkills #BoatMaintenance #DIYRepairs #HiddenParadise #AdventureTravel
Ira just wrapped up photographing the F18 Americas Championship, and I drove for her one of the days. Those things haul ass!!! We were in a 18 ft. rib with a 90HP, and to get ahead of these things or do a ride-along with them involved some moderate butt-pucker... down wind OR up wind. The other challenging thing as a photo-boat driver is figuring out their bail-out angles. I want to get close, but if then need to come down hard in a puff the change in direction is a good amount larger than what a mono would do (understandable as the range of apparent wind angles are broader because the range of boat speeds are also larger). It was a ton of fun playing out on the SF bay with these rocket ships!
