"One hundred people, not sure if we will make it to Australia, heaven or hell. I wasn't sure if we would make it on our worn boat on a dangerous ocean. But we had to try. The fifty/ fifty chance of staying alive was better than the one hundred per cent chance of dying if I had stayed at home. There was no chance I could make it to an airport without risking my life.
It only took seventeen days for us to arrive. It takes some people up to two to three months when the GPS doesnβt work. I am one of the lucky ones."
