Chocolate Cake
This voyage commenced in Townsville and will see us sail to the north to arrive in Cairns in 10 days time. Our new crew arrived this afternoon and we got underway and cleared the port. When anchored we sent the boat back inshore to pick up a youth crew member who arrived on a delayed flight. He didn’t miss too much – in fact he arrived just in time to enjoy a meal and to celebrate Andrew Sanders’ 17th birthday with a great chocolate cake made by master chef, Woody.Their first climb after dinner went well and tonight they can enjoy climbing to the top of the formeast, to the topgallant, with a full moon shining down on them, the ship and a flat calm ocean.My team for Voyage 08/01 of our Circumnavigation of Australia is: XO – Matt, Nav – Pauly, Swimmer/WO – Kath, White WL – Donny, Blue WL – Damo, Red WL – Ducky, Engineer – Eddie, Cheffo – Woody.We’ll weigh anchor and sail from the anchorage around lunch tomorrow.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
