V13/25, Exmouth to Fremantle

25 July 2025

Day 01 – V13/25, Exmouth to Fremantle

Ahoy There armchair readers and late night scrollers! We’re back for another voyage this time it’s down the West Coast of Australia. Voyage 13/25: Exmouth to Fremantle and everything in between. We had 20 Young Australians join the ship from the main wharf at Exmouth today and they are ready and raring to go!

The crew: Captain – Leups, Sailmaster – MattyJ, Navigator – Jack, Officer of the Watch – Sarah, Engineer – Mark, Red Watch Leader – Simon, White Watch Leader – Chris and Blue Watch Leader – Sam (otherwise known as the Moon Man!), Doctor Melwin and of course we have the Naughty Chefo – Kingy! It’s hard to tell whether it’s the crew or the youth crew that are more excited to be setting sail and pointing the bows South…

Exmouth has been stunning and the crew enjoyed the stop over and the hospitality of the very cool North Western locals in this part of the world. It was cool to welcome some pro fishing crew and their families from On Strike Charters – Exmouth with Captain Josh as they came onboard to share a sunset and have a chat about all things sailing and Youth Development. Lots of fun and look forward to seeing some of the Youngsters out on a voyage sooner rather than later!

This voyage promises some proper blue water sailing. Navigator Jack has his work cut out as we plot our course around low pressure systems, large swells and lining up some perfect anchorages down this coastline.

Watch this space as we will be weighing anchor early tomorrow morning and heading out of Exmouth Gulf. There’s a great atmosphere onboard as the sun is setting and we harness up to get ready for our first night climbs. This is going to be wild.

See you soon Freo!!!! We’re already looking forward to our Open Day on Saturday the 9th!! See you there!

Day 09 – V20/25, Sydney -Sydney

Good evening friends, families and loved ones, past, present and potentially future STS Young Endeavour crew!!! Today was a huge day. Overnight our Youth gave absolutely everything they had to navigate this ship from Broken Bay to Sydney Harbour (with a complex tacking plan!) for their Command Day and I am pleased to report we made it! Day 9 of Voyage 20/25 was sensational. The dawn broke in a grey sky with light 10kn South-Easterly winds giving us just enough drive to achieve the arrival time of 0700L at Line Zulu demarking the entrance to Sydney Harbour. Our elected Command Day crew were incredibly well supported by the rest of the youth crew and their performance was inspiring. Navigator Matt drove the ship into harbour and berthed on the northern arm of HMAS Waterhen. In the previous 24 hours the ship had used 63% of its water overnight. An amount far too great to organically re-make using the Reverse Osmosis units. The precise cause of the excessive water use is thought to be multiple Hollywood showers and some poor fresh water discipline compounded by flow-restrictors in the pipework not doing their job! No problem too great for the crew of STS YE though. We berthed, plugged in the 3 1/4 hose and within a few hours Engineer Dan had us back up at 100%. While we refilled the freshwater tanks the youth crew rested. I had taken back the ship and the sense of relief from the crew was palpable. Chefo Kingy served up some sensational duck breasts and salads to reinvigorate the crew and we reset ourselves for the afternoon. HMAS Diamantina graciously offered to provide the crew with a ship tour and a discussion around Mine Warfare and what life is like on a Navy Ship. Thank you to the crew for facilitating this we are very appreciative!! On return to STS YE we focussed on our Command Day Debrief discussions. These are key to drawing life lessons from this unique experience and the crew were characteristically honest, open and engaged. Excellent chat lead to some profound reflection and we all walked away a little bit wiser. Perhaps a little bit more resilient, confident, aware of our own limits and certainly with a whole lot of new friends for life having had that shared experience. Tonight we harbour furl our square sails and clean up the upper decks after 9 days at sea. We are ready to receive our Community Day Sail guests tomorrow and showcase this beautiful ship and talk about our adventures. The crew will go to bed tonight feeling fulfilled, proud and hopefully satisfied with all of their efforts. All we asked was they give everything that have and that they did. Respect! Youthies will round out the Captains Log tomorrow night - check in tomorrow to read all about it! Captain Leups Out +

Day 08 – V20/25, Sydney -Sydney

Ahoy there land lovers! Our youthies have officially become salty sea dogs taking over the ship for the long-awaited command day. Votes have been tallied and results are in… Drum roll please… Captain – Mitchell Sail Master – Hamish Officer of Watch – Mac Navigation – Noah Watch Leaders – Milly, Ed, Soren Chefs – Maddy, Erin, Jade To prepare the youthies for the day ahead, we had a movie night, featuring “Around Cape Horn” to get everyone inspired for the day to come. We settled into our anchor watches feeling mixed feelings of nervousness, excitement and hope. The morning started with music playing through the pipes and Kingy’s famously loved breakfast as the youthies prepared for Captains briefings and the intense 24 hours ahead. Officially taking over the ship at 1000 as staffies celebrated on the deck with a musical number and “holiday” clothing. Youthies gathered on the deck to listen to our new Sail Master Hamish and Captain Mitchell diving straight into the tasks and goals as hand. 6 youthies paddled the dingy to the neighbouring beach in search for the missing navigational instructions. Once our navigation packet was received, our Navigation Officer Noah and Officer of Watch Mac got to work determining our route to Sydney. Whilst the crew got started on the deck mural for the staffies. With our bellies full and faces slightly burned from the previous beach day, we all went aloft before practicing our tacking lines. At 1600 we weighed anchor, youthies covered the deck heaving in the sheets. Now we all pull in for the night to come and the learnings that come with and experience of this nature and intensity level. Lots of Love, Charlotte and Mitchell

Day 07 – V20/25, Sydney -Sydney

Last night came with some high stakes as all three watches completed their ‘Bear-EX’s’. Multiple activities were completed such as climbing the wildly swaying mast’s, setting and furling the storm sails and all of this while under time pressure. After all of this was over, all the watches having successfully completed their challenges during the cold and rainy hours of the night, started the morning with some more tacking practice to truly engrave the skills we have learned over the last couple of days. Today might have arguably been the best day yet! While we mightn’t have seen juvenile dolphins, but there wasn’t a single drop of rain, the seas shimmered with sunlight, and we spent a day at a beautiful, secluded beach (Hungry Beach, Broken Bay). We tanned, played beach games, swam in the fresh water, and bonded even more. Can this trip get any better?! As we are typing this log out to all of you beautiful readers, we’re all deciding what roles we would like to take on command day. A 24-hour period where 24 youthies take control of the vessel we have called home and take us back to Sydney… Hopefully you’ll hear from us again! Our roles can vary from Captain to Sail master, Navigators to Chefs and Watch Officers to General Crew. Despite having massive shoes to fill, we’re sure we can push ourselves and be successful in this stage of the journey. With great appreciation to all of the staffies supporting us during these past 6 days, and now 7, we are confident that we have been taught well and can make them proud yet again after all of their dedication and commitment to us. Lots of love, Erin, Mitch, Noah – writing to you from the shimmering waters of Hungry Beach, Broken Bay
