Alongside Adelaide Ocean Passanger Terminal.
1. Situation at 11:00 2. The Ship spent a busy night at anchor, with the youth crewremaining in sea watches overnight. This allowed them theopportunity to record their voyage in the Ship’s scrapbook, and toexchange all important phone numbers and email addresses.3. A magnificent sunrise was the backdrop to the final morningactivity – daggy dancing. A minor technical glitch saw NavigatorHibbo create a beat, and the dancing styles can only be described asilluminating.4. A final happy hour clean of the ship had her in ‘shipshape andbristol fashion’ for her final entry to Adelaide. The youth crewmanned the yards in an impressive display of how their confidencealoft has improved. Unfortunately their rousing rendition of theNational Anthemn, whilst sang with so much enthusiam, highlightedthat singing practice was not part of the program onboard.5.

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
