Happy Hour to Wine Glass Bay
1800hThe wind continues to be a mixed bag. Last night we headed out to sea against a freshening northerly and at midnight tacked under reduced sail in 30 knots of wind. By 0300 however the wind had died and we resorted to motors to help take us north. After Happy Hour (cleaning stations) and another set of rope races we anchored in Wine Glass Bay at 1100, possibly the prettiest bay on the east coast of Tasmania. After lunch all headed ashore for a well earned leg stretch and some informal beach sports. Back on board this evening we enjoyed a barbecue on deck followed by three way talks, which is where the Youth Crew get to provide a short description of each other’s lives and help us all to get to know one another better. Now it will be into anchor watches for the night, allowing all to catch up on some sleep and recharge before heading out to sea again tomorrow. Cap’n Bob

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
