We left Port Suakin three days ago after enjoying a great stop in a really interesting Sudanese town, literally like stepping back in time with donkey carts and goats everywhere!! A group of us took the hour long bus trip into Port Sudan for a look around a bigger city and to restock on fresh meat and vegetables. The Sudanese people are extremely friendly and we got nothing but warm smiles and words of welcome everywhere we went. The only down side is that it's an expensive country to check into for a short period of time at US$130 but well worth the cultural experience.
Now we're back underway and slowly making some distance north, we have to wait for low winds and move in the mornings or over night as the afternoon seems to be the most windy. We're currently anchored behind a reef in 'Wreck Recovery anchorage' and plan to head out tomorrow morning and see how far we can get. The coast line here consists of pretty much desert with high mountains in the distance, occasionally we've seen a tent or small village but otherwise there seems to be very little sign of life but very spectacular!
