The Canaries are suffering a crisis as thousands of immigrants are leaving their own countries and setting sail for the islands. These people were lucky but a small boat, which left Cape Verde on Christmas Day, was found drifting 70 miles off Barbados.
According to this week's newspaper report, 11 bodies were found with another 40 or so missing. It appears that they all paid 1,300 Euros for their chance of a life in a new land.
One young bloke, realising that he wouldn't survive, left a note for his family. I intended to quote it but it's just too sad.
Should you like to read about it look at -
