Alongside, Naval Wharf Bulimba
Ahoy Shipmates,Welcome to the finalo log for V 05/08 – unfortunately I have missed the last couple of logs due to a computer glitch (PEBCAK) – sorry we haven’t kept you up to the minute.Since the resounding success of Command Day (just add tall ship, wind, and young Australians and hey presto – instant challenge!) we have had a busy time. Last night we anchored off Tangalooma resort at Moreton Is where we had a swim, the Command Day Debrief and fed the dolhins courtesy of the Resort’s generosity. We started early this morning and sailed up the river to Pinkenba, where we collected 80 guests (some with special needs) for a half day sail. Unfortunately the wind wasn’t that forthcoming, but we were able to sail enough to give our guests the general drift….Once we dropped our new friends off, we took the mighty YE upriver to Bulimba, where we have been busy storing, harbour furling and end of voyage debriefing since arrival. Tonight we will share our last night together as a crew with a BBQ, ship’s concert, and watches together during the night.Tomorrow we will berth at the Dockside Marina at 1000, where we look forward to catching up with family and friends – don’t be late!Until tomorrow,Yours AyeCaptain Chris

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
