At Anchor, Port Sorell, NE Tasmania
Ahoy Shipmates,What an exciting Command Day we have had – we had excellent wind throughout, the sea were relatively calm, and the team had a fantastic and challenging time. Everyone is really weary now, after a busy 24 hours. We had to tack twice during the night – on one occasion things got a bit confused and we ended uo driving the shio backwards at 4knots – no probelm really, the YC Command Team unravelled it all and got us on our way again!Staffies took over again soon after 1300 today, and we are now at anchor in the shadow of the Asbestos Mountains – anothir picturesque part of Tasmania.Tonight we will have the Command Day Debrief, follwed by a good night’s slepp. Tomorrow will be another fun day – we are conducting a half-day sail out of Devonport with a group of disabled people, who because of their particular circumstance in life are unable to enjoy the full YOUNG ENDEAVOUR experience. I’m looking forward to it, and the weather looks good for it as well.Until tomorrow, shipmates,Yours Aye,ChrisChris GallowayCommander, RANCommanding Officer

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
