An Air Force Orion sent to search for four New Zealanders on a yacht off Fiji has now rendezvoused with the crew. The New Zealand-owned yacht, with four Kiwis aboard, ran aground on a reef 370km south of Fiji this morning. The yacht, Jungle, is owned by Peter McLean. Mr Marsland's brother, Mike, said he had just heard about the grounding through the media "in the last five minutes". Rescue Coordination Centre spokesman Keith Allen says efforts have been made to contact boats in the area by radio.
