tourists sail on yachts -
a crowded raft capsizes
and refugees drown

so sadly accurate, Jack though once in a blue moon it's the cruise ship capsizing. You won with yours. Congrats to you, my friend

Very sad, the never ending story of the wealthy and the desperate and poor. Astonishing words that deliver a world of meaning! Well penned Jack, Hugs, Jennifer.
