The Biggest Challenge
Situation at 20:00- During the night watches the Youth Crew were busy practising their navigation, as well as working aloft. Despite the wind beingalmost non-existant, we continued to make ground towards Broken Bay with the assistance of the ‘Iron Jib.Morning brief was yet another hilarious affair. Navigator Phil showed us the progress we had made over the past day and XOPaige outlined the plan of the day. The Salty Sea Dog, ably assisted by Captain John, described the nautical origins of the saying ‘a son of a gun’. Engineer Stewy didn’t know whether to be happy or sad whenhe saw the small size of his scran bag this morning. Navigator Phil served as a celebrity song leader for those few guilty culprits who left gear about. Today’s happy hour was ‘Brasso Day”. All hands turned to shining every bit of brass and in no time the Ship was gleaming. Morning tea consisted of a mixture of dried fruits and Tim Tams. The latest installment of rope races was a real nail biter. The watches are neck and neck as they head into the home stretch. At11:00 YOUNG ENDEAVOUR anchored off Hungry Beach in Broken Bay.As soon as lunch was over the Youth Crew were ferried ashore. After a quick game of touch footy on the beach

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
