Includes tour from Sheikh.
Just an update for you. Picked up J.Michael Kelly and Andrea from the airport here in Auckland, New Zealand this morning.
After a spot of breakfast they are headed down south to look at the venue for the second race of the series on Lake Karapiro. From here it is overnight in Cambridge to enjoy the scenery and then tomorrow through to Tauranga where the race is being held.
Major TV station here TV3 is doing a story on his visit and he will get his first drive of the boat on Friday morning.

Ned
Glad you asked! The Oryx is an animal native to Qatar.
Oryx is one of three or four large antelope species of the genus Oryx, typically having long straight almost upright or swept back horns. Two or three of the species are native to Africa, with a fourth native to the Arabian Peninsula. Small populations of several oryx species, such as the "Scimitar Oryx", exist in Texas and New Mexico, USA as captive populations on wild game ranches
August 28-31 is the tentative date. Not finalized, but close.
