Voyage 11/08 Underway
Ahoy Shipmates, Today saw the commencement of Voyage 11/08 from Townsville to Hamilton Island. After farewelling a small group of friends at the Port of Townsville, lines were cast of and YE proceeded out of Townsville and commenced our 2 hour passage around to our planned anchorage for this evening at Horseshoe Bay, located on the northern side of the very scenic Magnetic Island. During this passage we completed ice breaker” activities closely followed by ships tours and then finally the first of many of Chef Jarrods wonderful meals (4 choices including roast beef) . After dinner it was straight into the climbing system safety briefs before commencing our first climbs just after 2030. The time is now 2340 (1140 PM) and the YC are just finishing their first climb of the foremast (all have made it to the topgallant yard). Tomorrow will see us depart Horseshoe Bay and commence our passage south. Until tomorrow Yours AyeCaptain Gav”””

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
