ATHENS, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- The dead bodies of four refugees were retrieved and 15 people were rescued Wednesday from a boat located off the coast of Thassos island in the northern Aegean Sea, the Greek Coast Guard announced.
The circumstances under which the victims -- all men -- lost their lives, as well as their nationalities, itinerary and destination are still unclear, but survivors told Greek authorities that a total of 19 refugees and migrants were on board the dinghy.
Although the numbers of people crossing the Aegean has fallen dramatically this year compared to 2015, thousands of refugees and migrants are still taking the perilous journey.
According to latest data released by the European Border and Coast Guard Agency Frontex earlier on Wednesday, some 3,100 people arrived in October on the Greek islands, in line with the previous month. The three main nationalities on this route in October were Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans.
The number is just a fraction of the figures from a year ago when more than one million people landed on Greece's shores this way, Frontex noted.
Since the start of 2016, about 170,000 arrivals to Greece have been recorded. Most of them took place between January and March, before the start of implementation of the EU-Turkey agreement aimed to stem the influx.
In recent months, after Greek authorities started sending back to Turkey people non eligible for asylum in Europe, smugglers shifted the focus on alternative routes.
According to Frontex, a record number of migrants (nearly 27,500) reached Italy in October this year. Enditem

Driving down the road the other day, I noticed that there is a place that people can visit and light a bonfire. These types of bonfires are held in concrete rings just off the pacific shoreline. During most of the year, the ability to get one of these spots is fairly easy. But once the summer comes, these outdoor fire pits become the most popular attraction for families and friends seeking to keep warm during the cold California nights.
Some tools that are necessary during an outing to the beach are fire pit tools, marshmallows, hotdogs, and other condiments that are handy and delicious. Supplies can be purchased at any major store nearby, but bigger retail stores like Walmart or Target have some deep discounts that can be desirable. Next, purchase your equipment and be sure to set up the campsite early in the evening. It may actually be more advantageous to arrive in the early afternoon. I have seen many sites taken before it is dark outside.
The Pacific Ocean is known for its cold water. Many people avoid going in the ocean for fear of sharks and other creatures. Even though Hawaii has sharks the water is warm and inviting. There is however, a lack of outdoor fire pits on the beaches. Other animals that are easily found in the Pacific Ocean are sea lions, dolphins, whales and sea cucumbers. On a recent trip to Catalina, we found dolphins swimming beside our vessel. They were riding the wake that was produces by a dual hull ship. They may have also been checking out what was above the water.
Wood for outdoor fire pits can be bought from local hardware and supply stores such as Lowes or Home Depot. Some places along the Pacific actually have many downed trees that people cut up and us for firewood. But along most of the California coast, that is not a reality or option. Oregon and Washington have the most interesting coastline. On some of the coast in Washington, you can even drive a vehicle on the beach. I wouldn’t advise doing this; especially if you have any concern or care for the local environment, since oil and other unnatural materials and substances are leaked on the sand.
Finding a good source of firewood can be expensive if you purchase at the local store. It is recommended that the firewood be one that can be burned slowly. Dura flame is perfect for this application. Many portable fire pits are also available to bring with you to the beach and can be set up easily. Check with the local beach patrol before setting one up since it may not be allowed at certain areas. Finding a portable version is easy and online stores like Amazon carry a large amount of selection. This online store is known for their in depth reviews and very competitive prices. Also, as an option for those who are willing to wait they do offer a form of free shipping.
Timothy Reiner is manages a website on the subject of outdoor fire pits. He actively researches and discovers new and unique designs for you to implement in any outdoor landscape. Propane fire pits are also another option that Timothy recommends to most travelers.
