First Photo - Firstly my thanks go to Don Robinson for the photos of this years Weekend.
Des Skywalker in "The Revenge of GOD" Every time I take a set of photos like this I get one terrific shot, and Don has done the same. THIS photo, Don's First, is a cracker, as he has the Guest of Honour centred, 'Des Skywalker', complete with his Laser-Sabre, and his "Port 'n Starboard" socks. Then there is . . . The Winner of the 2005 Waiheke Ocean Race . . . Tony Baker highlighted right, and, surrounded by All the competitors attending. I have not altered this photo in any way, it is exactly as Don shot it . . . including the Light-Sabre Photos by: Don Robbie - Thanks |

here with Don McGowan.

Another Start - Lining up for another start
Some of the photos are a bit dull, caused by the day being overcast for Don, and the sun not being in the right place when you need if to help. I've been there. And then I have had to downsize the file size so that it will upload on the internet reasonably quickly. Techo stuff . . . Photos by: Don Robbie - Thanks |

OCEAN RACING - This is OCEAN RACING Electron Style

The LAST Photo - I suspect this photo was taken half way up the first leg of THE OCEAN RACE.
I suspect it was the last photo, because . . . Our photographer, Don Robbie, who was also running the dinghy for Geoff Bullock at the time . . . AND was told to concentrate on his driving and not his camera. Again thanks Don Robbie for the photos . . . tell me If I am wrong . . . ! Ocean Race results First . . . .
