At Anchor, Wrest Point, Derwent Estuary
Ahoy Me hearties,Welcome to the last Captain’s log for Voyage 16/07. Today we had a fantastic day, during which we welcomed the Tasmanian Downes Syndrome Association, some families of the staff from Navy Headquarters Tasmaina, and the Graney and Peacock clans onboard for qa half day sail.Unfortuately the wind (that we have had so much of this voyage) deserted us and so even though we managed to get a full press of canvas on today, we didn’t get to sail very far. Even so, we had fun singing all of the YOUNG ENDEAVOUR favourite songs and entertaining our guests.After our guests disembarked at 1315, we completed harbour furling the square sails, stored ship, and then each watch went ashore for a coffee and completed their end of voyage debrief. Tonight we are having a BBQ dinner, followed by the ship’s concert and our last night together as a crew.As V16/07 draws to a close, it is nice to e able to say what a great time we had together…Until next voyage, Shipmates,Yours Aye,Chris Chris 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
