Capsize--from the newspaper

The Dominion Post had this small item about our dinner-time drama last night:

"Three adults and a 10-week-old baby were rescued by coastguard and maritime police when their yacht overturned in Balaena Bay off Evans Bay Pde in Wellington last night.
Police received 18 reports from the public soon after 8pm about the overturned boat.
Rescuers found its passengers floating in the sea, cold and wet, but unharmed.
The baby was treated and taken to hospital. "

We certainly saw the three adults, but we never made out a baby in the binoculars. Maybe they had him or her in what we thought was a flotation device.

Incidentally, the NZ focus on outdoor sport means that the newspapers are always full of drownings, kayakers being rescued, hikers lost, climbers falling off cliffs. A week ago there was a woman riding a horse through a river who was drowned. I think the horse survived.

Nasty accident also recently reported; the ex-Ombudsman (lady) of The Washington Post stepped out of her car to take a photo, looked the wrong way, and was hit and killed by a car...
we need to be extra careful crossing the road...
