These thoughts are penned for my young cousin who lost his life nearly two years ago.. today they released the maritime report of the accident... such a loss, such a senseless loss.. It was a day like any other the sun was shining the sky was clear birds were circling in the air those on deck were laughing some were even singing then without warning chaos and fear two waves one after the other crashed on deck the first one rolled the boat heavily on its side the second wave tipped it over they had no chance four people trapped beneath the surface a grandfather his daughter two grandsons aged 9 never to breathe never to smile never to cry others tried to swim to shore 2 never made it 6 dead forever the maritime report released today says the boat was unseaworthy and yet the skipper lives senseless beyond belief… Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight......... |

Hi Roniece I would have like to never comment this tragedy....The kids were so young that there is a sentiment of injustice in this story...You are courageous and wish they will never be forgotten... yann |

One more thoughtless, senseless accident that touches so many lives. Even more sad when children who have no control are taken. Love, Joyce |

thank you everyone... your words of comfort hold me up ... 3 generations of a family were wiped out in this tragedy which happened on Mother's Day, 13 May 2006 in New Zealand... The two little ones were below deck sleeping when the waves hit... hopefully they didn't suffer long... love RDB Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight......... |

This brings profound uneasiness, as we can never comprehend why such tragedies do occur. Senseless is the word indeed, dearest Roniece. Your words convey the deep sadness very powerfully. ((((Roniece)))). Love and hugs. Margherita |
