"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

Jimmy Spithill was onboard the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli AC40 and gave a terrific summary after sailing, commenting on the swell and sea-state, saying: “I think it's really just getting used to the conditions. I mean the thing I've noticed, and I haven't done a lot of time here, is just how affected it is by ocean swell and waves. I mean today is a classic example if you go quite a bit further north up the coast there’s a really big mistral blowing and Barcelona just sort of gets the remnants from either what's happening north or what's happening to the south, so you get a lot of cross axis waves, and it makes it really interesting. It seems like no day is the same every time you come out…and it changes quickly.” #AC37Recon #shorts SUBSCRIBE to the official America's Cup channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/americascup Like America’s Cup On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/americascup Follow America’s Cup On Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/americascup Follow America’s Cup On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/americascup Stay up to date with the America’s Cup newsletter: https://www.americascup.com/en/newsletter The 37th America's Cup will be Defended in Barcelona by four-time America's Cup winner, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron represented by their team, Emirates Team New Zealand. #AmericasCup #AC37 #Barcelona2024

Il y a des nuits où tout s’apaise. Où la mer devient miroir, et le silence une réponse. 🌙 Ce n’est pas une fuite. C’est un retour à l’essentiel. Oser ralentir. Oser rêver. Oser vivre autrement. 🌊 Sur OUALAOUTI, on apprend chaque jour qu’il est possible de changer de cap — de créer une vie plus simple, plus libre, plus vraie. ⚓ 🎧 Keep going. Trust the wind. The sea will guide you.
