Fitzroy Island
Ahoy Shipmates, YOUNG ENDEAVOUR came to anchor at Fitzroy Island at 2300 last night and immediately reverted to anchor watches for the rest of the night so that everyone could enjoy a well deserved good night’s sleep. Following morning brief and happy hour the Watch leaders conducted the ���Apples and Onions’ exercise (realistic judgement exercise) followed by another hotly contested session of rope races. This afternoon the YC were ferried ashore to Fitzroy Island to visit the local resort and enjoy the fine tropical weather, great beach (complete with floating trampoline) and scenic rain forest walks. This evening they were briefed on the purpose and aims of Command Day and held elections to determine which of them would serve in leadership positions. Being at anchor tonight provides the YC with the opportunity to develop plans on how they hope to achieve the mission that they have been assigned as well as the chance to catch up on some much needed rest prior to what will prove to be a very demanding and tiring 24 hours.Yours AyeCaptain Gav

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
