Arm in Arm We Go
Current situation at 1100: Our Voyage is now complete and sadly the YC are clambering up the gangway and walking down the wharf arm-in-arm.Initially it was quite a rough trip, the Southern Ocean gave our tummies plenty to contemplate. I know the YC will remember those first two days with dread. But they got through it and a lot more of the course of the Voyage. We visited plenty of beaches and got two candy stops in – woohoo. Their Command Day was a success and I know they will take something away with them to use in the future.We berthed at 10 AM with the YC aloft manning the yards and singing their favourite song. At a ceremony at midships I presented the YC with Voyage Certificates and had the pleasure of awarding the Order of Australia Emblem to Corinne Leale, 23, of Smithton, Tasmania for her outstanding contribution in making the Voyage the success it was.I head home for a short break for the next two five day Voyages.I will temporarily hand Command of the ship to a previous YOUNG ENDEAVOUR Commanding Officer, the well regarded, Bob Williams.Stay tuned,Andrew 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
