Missing Trimaran Manoah - Statement from family of Verona Hunt

 
  17 July 2005

The immediate family of Verona Hunt, the Nelson woman on board the overdue yacht Manoah, have asked the Rescue Co-ordination Centre to issue the following statement on their behalf.

We wish to thank all those people, both friends and well-wishers, who have been so supportive over the last two weeks.
 


It has been a very stressful time, but we remain optimistic that Verona and Gary will eventually turn up safely in Raratonga. We take it as a very positive sign that the emergency locator beacon that they have on board the Manoah has not been activated.

Both Verona and Gary are incredibly resourceful people and have enough provisions on board the Manoah to keep them going for another couple of weeks.”

The family have indicated that they have nothing further that they wish to say at this time and ask that the media respect their privacy by not trying to get in contact with them over the coming week.
