Command Day ends – the seas are safe again!
Hi everyone,We finished our Command Day navigation at the entrance to Moreton Bay and then motored to anchor at the Tangalooma Resort just before lunch where the remainder of tasks were completed, including rigging a huge hammock and rowing ashore in the little rubber boat to ���reclaim’ some of the land for the youth of Australia.After lunch we all went ashore for a relaxing time at the resort ��� swimming, the beach, boating, cafes ��_ very nice indeed. But with salt in the veins of the Youth Crew the longing for the sea meant we were all back on board for a sausage sizzle and then a debrief of the Command Day. As I speak the various groups are getting into the nitty gritty but suffice to say our initial feed back is that the 24 hours was fun and people learnt a lot. From my perspective I thought the 24 hours went really well and reflected the positive approach the Youth Crew made.We will remain at anchor overnight ahead of an early departure for Bulimba, half way up the Brisbane River, to embark some guests for a half day sail. More on that tomorrow and until then, take care ��_YakVoyage Captain

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
