Spent the night at a great anchorage off Dromana and after a night of laying aloft (climbing) the foremast, we were greeted by a sunrise that would rate among the finest.
The Premier of Victoria, The Hon Steve Bracks MLA, started the Melbourne to Geelong Race and presented voyage certificates to the Youth Crew. They were thrilled to receive them.
Today we arrived off the Rip and carried out setting and furling. The YC are now ready to sail on their own and they proved that they can do it safely.
The Bear teamwork exercises went so well last night some YC asked if they could do it again - well they will in a really big teamwork exercise on Wednesday called Command Day.
At wakey wakey this morning we departed Grassy Harbour, passed the fairy penguin rookery and set sail. We expected a big blow but we were becalmed. The calm before the storm.
