These days we be creeping up the coast of Eritrea. We're just sailing in the
mornings and hiding out the rest of the time. The wind gets to be a bit
boisterous and unpleasant hereabouts later in the day. There's not much to
look at onshore; just a lunar landscape of mountains and sand dunes and the
odd military outpost. Makes you wonder what the Italians were thinking of
setting up a colony here.
The fishing has been good though and we've been keeping our small convoy of
yachts, us, 'Brianna' and 'Sarenity', safe from the perils of starvation
with supplies of the non-tinned variety of tuna.
