Rubber boats to the Greek Isles?

Lesbos (Mytilene), Greece WeatherIf Middle Eastern Refugees can sail 4 miles or more to Lesbos or one of the other Greek Islands then they are legally in Greece and if they get refugee status they get a ride likely with the Greek Navy to the European Mainland. So, people are taking the risk (which will grow a lot now as the weather gets worse) to take small rubber rafts with small engines or oars these 4 plus miles from Turkey to Lesbos or other Greek Islands and many are dying on the way there. Turkey is to your right on the map. Greece is to the left with many Greek Islands in between like Lesbos.
