A Good Rest in Geraldton
Our visit to Geraldton has been very successful. Last night Command Team elections were held, the results of which were provided to you by Youth Crew Scott Lollback in yesterday’s log entry, and a good nights rest has been enjoyed by everyone within the tranquil confines of the Harbour. This morning the ship was given a good clean and in the afternoon we invited the public to inspect her. A steady flow of the town’s people took advantage of the opportunity.At 1700 we slipped all lines and once more headed out to sea where, once clear of the channel, I handed over to Youth Crew Captain Ben, stopped the engines and invited the Youth Crew to take control and proceed with their mission. For now that is to make best speed to the south towards Fremantle. Now they are all busy on deck setting sail and getting their navigation sorted out.Given their current dedication to this task we won’t distract them for now but will catch up on the Youth Crew entry tomorrow and see how they are faring.Until thenCap’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
