Day 2 – NSW South Coast
Ahoy there everyone, Welcome to day two of the voyage. Overnight Young Endeavour continued motor sailing south under fore and aft sails as each of the watches continued to reacquaint themselves with the ship. An obscured sunrise had the ship seaward of Ulladulla on the Shoalhaven Coast.It was a quiet day around the ship due to the prevailing conditions with 30+ knot winds and three metre seas saw all hands not on watch down in their beds with the ship at times only making 1.2 knots headway.Many of the race fleet could be observed closer inshore as Young Endeavour maintained a position three quarters along the fleet along the . Young Endeavour is currently motor sailing along at six knots under fore and aft sails, making ground to the south east on a close reach starboard tack along the Eurobodalla Coast, with the intention of continuing our passage overnight at sea underway.Until tomorrow evening, take care.Yours ayeCaptain Damien

Thank you Tarvi, Kaeden and Matt for your narrative of today's events. Intentions are to remain at anchor in Hunters Bay, just off HMAS Penguin, home of the RAN Diving School, a place close to my heart, having spent many a day there under training as a young Officer! The plan is to weigh anchor and proceed to HMAS Waterhen, in Waverton, to pick up our Community Day Sailors from the Windgap Foundation and take them for a sail around the harbour for 3 hours. The Youth Crew will help us host our visitors and give them an experience of Young Endeavour. We will drop them back to Waverton and then proceed to anchor in the harbour where we will have a good view of the Bridge and the Opera House for the Youth Crew's last night onboard. Until tomorrow. Yours Aye, Captain Mike
