My son alerted me to this boat up on Big Coppitt key today. I had seen in the paper 20 cubans had made it to shore but thought nothing of it as it is a fairly everyday occurrence. I was startled to be so overwhelmed by the boat itself. All their clothes and things were left scattered in it, even a toothbrush. The boat itself was beautiful in its craftsmanship but apparently they had built a fire in the bow for warmth. It made realize just how lucky and comfortable I am to live where I do and so many people live a life they would love to leave. Happy New Year to all. Lets all make 2011 a wonderful year!
I am an artist living and working in the Florida Keys. My web site is www.hobbsart.freeservers.com
I show my work at 7 Artists Gallery at 604 Duval street, Key West. You can usually find me there on Fridays!
Amazing photos and post. It's humbling indeed to realize what many people will endure to have what we all take for granted.
