A Youth Crew Song
Had a great concert last night with the highlight being a song written and sung by the whole YC. The fact that it was done as one epitomises the level of teamwork that this crew has established.Having weighed anchor, the YC lay aloft and manned the yards for entry and the joyful strains of our anthem were sung with passion as the ship berthed at 1000. I presented voyage certificates to the YC and said farewell to them. They were a real pleasure to sail with and I was sad to see them depart. I presented the Order of Australia emblem to Willem New for his tremendous efforts during the voyage. Not wanting to take anything away from Willem, the choice was very difficult and the staff pondered over and discussed the issue for a long time. This reflects in the most positive way how good this YC was.The staff now has a few days to prepare for the next voyage commencing on Monday when we sail for Mackay.Chat to you Monday. Have a great weekend.Andrewp.s. go the Wallabies on Saturday night

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
