Command Day completed this morning when the YC navigated into harbour and we stopped next to the Sydney Opera House to put the BAT ashore. They got 7 lucky souls to sing with them. Afterwards we berthed at Garden Island and the YC and Watch...
The Youth Crews' Command day got off to a great start. We tacked against the wind and got clear of Port Hacking and with a brisk breeze from the nor'east made good progress. Sometimes we had to have a few tries at tacking but they...
