We were on the beach when it happened, and despite the chaos and the darkness, it was clear that as one main group of migrants emerged from the dunes and charged towards the sea, dragging their inflatable boat with them, a second group suddenly joined them from further south. This second group had no boat of their own, and appeared, to us, to be acting on the spur of the moment, presumably hoping to catch a ride on the other group’s inflatable.
