Captain's Log

Completed at-sea component of Command Day at 0900 and Staff Crew took the Ship to anchor in Nara Inlet.

Anchored on the northern shore of Hook Island during the forenoon watch to enable the crew to snorkel in one of the best spots in the Whitsundays. We sailed in the afternoon for their last night at sea before Command Day.

After a run ashore to Middle Percy Island this morning, we weighed anchor after lunch and commenced our passage to the Whitsunday Islands. In the afternoon we did our first session of Tacking Stations and then rotated the Watches through the other Watches' positions so they experienced what their Tacking duties entail.

After embarking our final 2 Youth Crew members we conducted the necessary training required then the Ship weighed anchor and proceeded to sea, commencing our passage to Middle Percy Is.
