Mud Slides
Command Day completed this morning when the YC navigated into harbour and we stopped next to the Sydney Opera House to put the BAT ashore. They got 7 lucky souls to sing with them. Afterwards we berthed at Garden Island and the YC and Watch Leaders went ashore to the shops and investigate the Navy Base, have lunch and make a mud slide…. yes, mud slide.Late in the afternoon we sailed around the harbour for the fun of it and anchored for dinner. Tonight we will hold the Command Day debrief. Their Day was extremely successful, as not only did they work well together, their passage was met with changeable weather throughout and they adapted their tactics to cope with it. Last night the wind died and we were drenched as rain squalls and lightning swept over us. The morale stayed high because they had a great attitude and were kept well informed of the decisions that were made and the reason for them. Tomorrow is the half-day sail and we are all looking forward to it.Speak tomorrowAndrew 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
