I guess the YC are getting an adventure. We are in the middle of an A-class, Number 1 storm as they say in 'the' movie. We are sailing under stormsails and early this morning as we were furling the jib, the clew parted and the...
We've found winter and are awaiting the storm. That LOW pressure system you can see on your TV sets is coming up behind us and she's got a bone in her mouth. We are still three days out from land and making good speed. We...
Our northerly winds today have brought us clear skies, cool temps and generally smooth seas, however the wind is increasing at the moment and we are in for a bumpy night. The YC have been busy today climbing the mast, setting and furling the squares...
Today, Tuesday, is always a big day on the YE. More so since we spent last night underway instead of at anchor, making distance in our long journey. Clear skies this morning heralded a great day. Our new YC worked hard at learning...

After our YC returned from the beach and shops (only their second time ashore this voyage) where end of voyage talks were also conducted, we had a great dinner and then up on deck we were enthralled by some of the YC acts during 'Sod's...
For the Command Day the YC got wind from every quarter making their task difficult. Still, they remained focussed and with only a few tacks overnight they sailed the ship to an anchorage in plain view of the township. The Beach Assault Team hit the...
The YC have been in Command of Young Endeavour since 0600 this morning and are doing an excellent job. There are lots of islands around here, which makes it quite a picturesque place. The wind is light and changeable and the weather perfect. Their mission...
Today, after setting and furling drills, where the YC proved that they could safely and competently set and furl all sails, we continued our passage east. We had hoped to stop at Bremer Bay but the winds have moderated to just a puff and therefore...
This morning we departed Albany after a good night's' rest and sailed from the Sound. (no whales this time). We've still got quite a way to go to Esperance and the YC's knowledge and abilities are coming ahead in leaps and bounds as we continue...
