The story goes…

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007
You wouldn't belive it, but apart from the 324 that arrived during the weekend, yesterday 6 'cayucos' (dugboats) arrived to our islands with the astonishing number of 464 illegal immigrants. 4 boats arrived to the 'Los Cristianos' port (Tenerife), 1 to the 'Las Carpinteras' beach in San Bartolomé de Tirajana (Gran Canaria) and another one to Arrecife (Lanzarote). I've said it once but this is really a tremendous job these days and i give a big 'thumbs up!!' for the Sea Rescue Team and the Guardial Civil Sea Patrol as well as to all the Red Cross and other volunteers that help out with these people, specially making it possible to rescue all the immigrants in time, no lifes lost this time. Great job guys!!
