#PaintItSaturday – Mersa Dudo
This is a mystical place in south Eritrea, taken from a desolate island called Sadla, which is surrounded by old volcanic hillocks as far as the eye can see. No one lives here except dolphins, turtles and bird of prey.
Cowries, Turtles, Ospreys and Graves!
The moment we stepped ashore on Sadla Island our senses were on fire. Like something out of a Jules Verne novel this volcanic island was teeming with wildlife. These pictures are some of my favourite nature shots, especially the sunset ones. Make the most of these pics because from here on it the rally starts getting tough. The smiles will be replaced by grimaces as the fleet prepares itself for 700 miles of hell!
Move! Move! Now! Go!
The fact we were kicked off Mersa Dudo was a blessing in disguise for Sadla Island is an absolute gem. In fact those who had managed to get ashore on the first night waxed lyrical about its wonders on the evening net. Tony of ‘Full Flight’ and I arranged to go ashore early next morning as he had discovered nesting turtles on the eastern shore.
