Farewell Eddie!
Current situation at 1100: After a special early morning wake up activity we got underway for the long journey up the Port River with the YC manning the yards.We berthed near the tall Ship One and All – a fitting end to the Voyage and Eddie in his last appearance drove the ship expertly into her assigned berth (he definitely wasn’t wearing his ‘Keep clear of me – I am manoeuvring with difficulty’ T-shirt.)At midships I presented Voyage certificates and the Order of Australia Emblem to Jaymie Cross, 22 of Queensland for her part in making the Voyage a success. Well done Jaymie.And then we farewelled Eddie. Gift after presento was showered upon him but it was the Mayor of Port Adelaide and Enfield (Eddie’s favourite type of dignitary) who presented his farewell gift of decking and belaying pin. See you later, Eddie, (WBE, ARGG and FIG JAM)… Come back soon-you were great!Stay tuned,Andrew Davis

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
