COMMAND DAY COMPLETED
Hello Everyone,Overnight the Youth Crew motor sailed most of the way to Gladstone with light and variable winds. A beautiful morning started at 0700 with a delicious French breakfast from our chefs, followed by an entertaining morning brief. During the day we continued with our required tasks and anchored at Gladstone before handing command back to the staff at 1300. The whole crew then assisted in harbour furling the square sails. After a pizza dinner on deck we wrote letters to ourselves and other crew members which the Young Endeavour Youth Scheme will post to us in six months time. During command day the whole Youth Crew showed great perseverance and tolerance but most importantly had a great time. This voyage has been very enjoyable and the fond memories of which, I am sure, will linger long in all our memories.Youth Crew Captain Claudia

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
