Heading Home
Upon entry to port the yards were manned with the Youth Crew: Blueys on the Topgallant, Whities on the Topsail and Reddies on the Course, as Young Endeavour sailed up Cairns Harbour to meet friends and family on the wharf at 1000.At a gathering at midships on arrival, I presented the crew with Voyage Certificates and in recognition of the Tall Ship sailor who most embodied the spirit of the ship, I presented the Order of Australia Emblem to Dan Crichton, 16, of Miriwinni, Qld. Well done, Dan. Your efforts were appreciated by all of the crew and you played a huge role in the success of the voyage.Our next Voyage in our Circumnavigation of Australia will be from Cairns to Weipa. We will sail up the Queensland coast and across the most northerly point in Australia, Cape York, and then down into the Gulf of Carpentaria. Speak to you on Monday.Stay tunedAndrew 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
