Great set of photos and as JR comments about his own situation in the commentary box, I did not have much chance to get around either as I was on the yachts most of the time so seeing all these photos shows how much we miss if we are involved somehow. However the time I did get off was to go and have a drive of Lord Roberts courtesy of Alan Mitchell, the owner and this is what happened.

I was up on the engine with Josh,one of the crew, when the helicopter came in behind us and this is the result - taken by my daughter Danielle before she covered the camera to protect it. Josh and I ducked down between the horn plates to avoid the worst of the sand storm. It looked like a scene from the movie The Mummy when they heroes are being chased by a sand storm.
