An entire island abandoned — not by war or disaster, but by something invisible. Rongelap Atoll was once a thriving Pacific community, until nuclear fallout from U.S. testing forced its residents to flee. Today, it stands frozen in time — buildings decaying, possessions untouched, and an eerie silence that tells a story few have seen. In this gripping exploration, we uncover the secrets left behind and reveal why no one ever came back. #abandoned #urbanexploration #history Don’t forget to subscribe to follow our journey across the Pacific and support our small boat making big adventures.

We’re back at sea—sailing thousands of miles from any major sailing hub, deep into the remote waters of the Marshall Islands. After saying goodbye to the 200-person community of Likiep, we raise anchor and set our course for the uninhabited atoll of Rongerik, a place with a haunting legacy of nuclear fallout—and a secret yacht club most sailors have never heard of.

We sailed into Likiep Atoll not knowing what to expect… and left with full hearts, new friends, and unforgettable memories. From a mysterious graveyard to a surprise birthday celebration, a runway adventure, and fresh-caught snapper shared by a former mayor—it was nothing like we imagined. But the real magic? That came from the people. #sailing #vlog #adventure Find us elsewhere: website & Blog: www.sweetruca.com Patreon: www.patreon.com/ruca Instagram: www.instagram.com/rucasailing Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rucasailing/ Instagram: @rucasailing Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/ey2t4k
