Carn the Wallabies
What an awesome day! Perfect sailing conditions on a beautiful Queensland day. We had whales, dolphins, a tack, happy hour and an introduction to Nanna and all before 1000. You couldn’t get a nicer day with a steady 10-15 kt breeze which backed nicely to the NE that allowed us to set the squares having already set the fisherman staysail and main gaff topsail. Joel provided a brief on Rule of the Road in the afternoon and best of all we had a couple of hours of silent sailing with all machinery totally shut down which is pure bliss. We are now sailing under fore and aft sails towards Hervey Bay where we will anchor sometime around lunchtime tomorrow and just to cap off a beaut day before the mast we have just heard the Wallabies have had a huge win over the USA. Not rugby giants but after Ireland I’ll take any win.

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
