this is the incredibly sad story. Of the 3 year old child who drowned in the hawksbury river.

The other thread on this topic is disgusting in my opinion. I am embarrassed to have contributed to it. We all know what happened. Thank you to the people who did the right thing on the last thread. We all have a common interest whether it be sailing, power boating, swimming, surfing, paddle board, windsurf, whatever else there is. We should be paying our respects to the child who was lost in this very ocean we all love. We all know or should know the ocean is a powerful force of nature. Stronger than you, me or anyone else. Occasionally freak accidents happen, this incident is one of them. We should not be saying anything negative to anyone. That move belongs to someone who is disrespectful at that particular time. I know we all make mistakes.

on this thread I only want to see condolences and memory's you may have had with them. Or anything else you would like to add that's positive. I will be disappointed if someone starts things from the other thread back up here. That's it.

I will start. I hope the rest of the family are coping well with this tragity. I really do hope they don't give up on there adventure. I have never met or even seen this family. But it sounds like "Zobbie" enjoyed the ocean very much. That's something I can relate to, they were and hopefully still will continue to live there dreams.

I am sorry if you are family, friends or relatives to this family and saw the last thread.

If you don't live your dreams what's the point of living.

My most heartfelt condolences to the family.

i hope everyone has a nice Evening
