New Zealand media report that the boat was taking an extended family to a
remote island so they could hunt for mutton birds, which are considered a
local delicacy, and that two children are among those who are missing.
Just two months ago, the captain of the Easy Rider, Rewai Karetai, was hailed
as a hero when he helped rescue three people from another fishing boat which
capsized in the area. Two people died in that accident. Karetai is reported
as among those missing in the latest incident.
