A Bit Queasy
Last night we departed Endeavour Strait and turned south into the Gulf of Carpentaria. It got a bit rough (not that rough) and a few of the crew got a bit queasy. Nevertheless we pushed on and this morning the YC proved to themselves that they could set and furl all the sails on board in preparation for Command Day. This afternoon theyheld elections and voted in the new team.We are at anchor now and will stay here overnight for our first nights’ stop in a week. Since leaving Cairns a week ago the ship has only been at anchor for 14 hours. So you can see we’ve done a lot of sailing. The YC take over at 6:30am tomorrow and their mission is to sail south to Weipa, some 70 miles away and anchor in Albatross Bay at 6:30am Wednesday. I know they’ll do well.No YC entry tonight – they are all too busy preparing for 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
