A Great Command Day
Command Day completed this morning after an the YC sailed the ship up from Kangaroo Island and at the stroke of 0630 hours this morning anchored the ship in her allotted anchorage. They did a great job and after a voyage with lots of wind they were becalmed overnight. During the early hours the wind sprang up on the nose causing them to start the engines so they could make it. Oh well.We arrived in port at 0900 hours in readiness to embark our guests for the half-day sail. For three hours we sailed in beautiful conditions in the Gulf of St Vincent and the sailing combined with our YC acting as great hosts made the day a memorable one for our 40 visitors.Tonight we will get no break. We need to complete our end of Voyage talks and Command Day debrief. The sails need a good furl and then we can have more fun at the concert this evening. I hear some special acts are brewing. No YC entry tonight.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
