Relativity -

Dominating this morning's news is the final stages of winding down the search and rescue of three members of two families lost in Foveaux Strait on Saturday and still missing. Three are already confirmed drowned.

Six lives lost from a community of 2400.

In terms of "disaster", it would equate to about 3,500 to 4,000 killed in Auckland.

Perhaps 24,000 in New York.

Nature is vicious sometimes.

My thoughts are with the families - from one maritime family to another.
