Command Day – Wow!
We are now at anchor doing our end of voyage jobs, like furling the sails, talking about our experiences and getting ready for the concert. The Youth Crew had an excellent Command Day and achieved outstanding results. The following entry is from the Captain of Command Day, Tony Baker, 17:Command Day ��� Wow! The days before Command Day were excellent but this one day made my journey. Over the past ten days I have been on a journey not measured in miles, but in the way I have matured.As I stepped on the plane to Sydney excitement swept over me. This overwhelming emotion accompanied me throughout the voyage. It slowly evolved during the early days of the voyage, but rapidly increased during Command Day.When daylight bleached the sky of Command Day I had mixed emotions. Picture a five year old child waking on Christmas Day, mixed with a teenager, (me), realising that they have four exams and five assignments to do in the week before the Voyage. The excitement stayed with me throughout the morning and came back with a vengeance at various stages during the day.As I sit back now and reflect on the day, I am overwhelmed with tiredness yet I feel a great sense of pride and achievement.Thankyou, Young Endeavour, for such an incredible teambuilding experience.Speak tomorrowAndrew 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
