Day 6 – Eden
Ahoy there everyone, Overnight Young Endeavour remained at anchor in Twofold Bay opposite the Eden wood chip mill enabling a well deserved longer sleep for all. At 0630 all hands were on deck for an early morning activity prior to breakfast and morning brief. While the ship was receiving her daily internal clean the anchor was weighed and we transited the short distance to anchor adjacent the breakwater on the at the Eden fisherman wharfs. From here the Youth Crew were ferried ashore in the ships boat to explore the township of Eden. Whilst ashore each of the watches under the facilitation of their watch leader conducted mid voyage talks where each discussed individual and collective progression against their initial goals, then reset priorities and revised goals for the remainder of the voyage.After lunch the Youth Crew returned to the ship and we departed the anchorage, re commencing our passage north against a strong north east wind and a steep swell. Fore and aft sails were set as we beat our way along the Sapphire Coast making ground towards our next scheduled anchorage in pristine Jervis Bay marine park tomorrow evening. Until tomorrow evening.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
