Barbeque

We had the opportunity to set foot on dry land at Raiy Dhiggaa island for a barbeque. Apparently the island's population numbers just 3. It's a tiny strip of beautiful white, coral sand with a band of palms and bushes.

Looking back from the far extreme end of the island...

'Hi Miche' - or it would be, if the sea hadn't kept washing the H & E away...
