These are two blog that was written by a guy I meet last time I was in hargeisa
December 2010
The Journey of VISA no. 523 | Travel Blog
“Don’t try and be a hero" | Travel Blog
The Boat trip from barbare to yemen is about 30 hours. i found it Very interesting.
As safety goes, i would make it to hargeisa then starting asking local and see what they say,
in the last 5 years I've travel 3 time to Somaliand, 1st and last time i came overland from Ethiopia Harar, Jijiga on public transport. 2nd time i crossed over on my motorbike. never had any trouble with Somaliand police.
Best of luck

One word of advice on Barbera to Yemen "ferry". Get your Yemeni visa beforehand. I have tried it few years ago - Yemeni embassy was assuring me I can get a visa at all points of entry, also sea ports.
Once in Berbera, in front of the ferry, the owner refused to discuss with me the matter, because I have not got Yemeni visa in my passport - had go all way back through Djibouti.
Good luck!
