Socotra can be too dangerous for wave-riding, but it is an excellent place for measuring speed during a monsoon season...
The Socotrans have never mastered the written language. That is why they were unable to document and keep a chronicle of their history. Since ancient times it has been only their native nonliterate language the Socotran people used for communication. Therefore, the real history of this Archipelago is still little-known.
The Republic of Yemen is located on the Arabian Peninsula in Southwest Asia . It is bordered on the north by Saudi Arabia, on the south by the Arab Sea and the Gulf of Aden, on the east by the Sultanate of Oman and on the west by the Red Sea.
The Socotra Archipelago is part of the Republic of Yemen. However, until 1967 Socotra was a sultanate.
The Archipelago is one of few places in the world where people live in harmony with nature, so rarely found in our modernized world.
