Day 5 of the Young Endeavour voyage from Sydney to Hobart was brought upon by rough seas and strong winds. Specifically, +5 metre waves and +40 knot winds. Our usual daily brief which is normally hosted at the bridge of the ship was postponed due...
What a difference a day makes! The day started with a guts watch to be remembered – cold, wet and windy. Battling through the Bass Strait, we had swells coming well over the gunnels, and fought to control the sails and the winds, not wishing...
Ahoy there m’laddies, it’s been a rough night and rough day, literally and figuratively! We started off our trip through the Bass Straight around 0300 this morning. This greeted us with huge swells, sunnier weather and, lots wind and water to attack the crew. Wet...
