Bring on the w- -d
Current situation at 1800:And still we have no wind! On the plus side this made for a very pleasant night at anchor off Eden where, last night, we all enjoyed hearing about each others lives back on land through a fun ���three way talks’. It also provided the opportunity for a good nights sleep for all. This morning we rose early for an informal dawn service held onboard commemorating ANZAC Day. The Youth Crew had made an environmentally friendly paper wreath, which was laid during our short little ceremony which I personally found quite moving as the colourful sunrise brightened the eastern sky.After breakfast everyone proceeded ashore for a welcomed leg stretch and chocolate run. Back onboard for lunch we sailed shortly after and then the Navigator provided the Youth Crew in a lesson on the seagoing ���rules of the road’.Since leaving Eden we have continued to motorsail in the light airs and occasional showers (the front having fizzled into a weak trough). Tonight we are heading for Jervis Bay and will be conducting teamwork exercises en route. And I’m not even going to mention the w–d.See you tomorrow,Cap’n Bob.Youth Crew entry by ���A’ aged 22 from Victoria.Hi there everyone, just want to let you know that I am having a great time with great people. Constantly trying not to let the rolling seas get the better of me – and I’m winning at the moment (just!). Looking forward to some wind tonight so that we can do some serious sailing!

The people here are amazing – and really supportive and stuff – and this is set to be a trip that will test everyone’s limits!! Climbing up the mast is the best!!

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
