Kicking Major Goals
Current sitaution at 1800: The Command Day is complete and the YC kicked some major goals.After sailing all night making it to nearly all check points, they anchored the ship and sent the BAT ashore. The BAT returned victorious and easily within the time alloted. It was great to see all three square sails set – throughout the Voyage we didn’t need them and consequently the YC had only seen them set once briefly.Throughout the day YOUNG ENDEAVOUR was sailed brilliantly around Port Phillip Bay. But it wasn’t just about the sailing. It was thecoming together of the YC to perform exceptionally well as a team that impressed me.We had a debrief after the Command Day, had dinner and then we gathered at midships for the concert. Some very funny acts ensued with some hilarious impersonations of the crew – Rags and Polly especially.We will stay at anchor tonight and rest our weary bones.Stay tuned,Andrew 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
