The story says there may have been up to 160 people on board a 30 sailboat and up to 66 may also have been lost. Poor bastards.

My brother lives part-time in the Turks and Caicos and goes to the Dominican Republic from time to time. Many Haitians make the same trip for temporary work, but this exodus by so many on a small boat is tragic.
