SOUTH DOCK, Turks and Caicos Islands (AP) -- A boat loaded with Haitians capsized early Friday, and about 20 bodies have been found, some partially eaten by sharks.

A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter was searching for 58 other passengers.

The police recovered 63 people from the vessel after it capsized about a half-mile south of Providenciales Island in the Atlantic Ocean. The island belongs to the Turks and Caicos, a British territory.

Survivors told police there had been about 150 people aboard the boat, the Coast Guard said. The police boat, guided by the Coast Guard helicopter, also rescued 10 people who were found clinging to the hull of the capsized vessel.

I wonder what wine you would serve with Haitians?
a nice 2004 Saint-Amour Domaine du Paradis. This is a beautifully textured wine, with balanced fruit, herbal, earth and mineral flavors. It is lively enough to stand up well to the pungent haitian meat.
