Day 4 – Eden to Sea
Ahoy there Shipmates,We had a relaxing night at anchor in the aptly named Snug Cove, off the Town of Eden. The youth crew kept anchor watches, monitoring the safety of the Ship throughout the night.Sail Master Paul treated us to another of his tasteful musical Wakey wakeys at 0630 and after a nautical 90 second shower we had a teak deck BBQ breakfast, while enjoying the views of Twofold Bay. The Ship’s boat commenced taking crew ashore after breakfast to stretch their legs, hug a tree (the best cure for sea sickness), get a coffee and checkout the local Maritime Museum, whose staff always look after us, giving free entry to the crew members. Local Youth Crew member Brianna Shaw assisted by acting as tour guide while the crew were ashore.  The youth crew returned onboard by 1030 and we then prepared to sail. We weighed anchor after lunch and proceeded out of Twofold Bay, motor-sailing southwards towards our next destination, Refuge Cove at Wilson’s Promontory.Navigator Caitlin gave the Navigation Brief to the crew in the afternoon in between the various Tacking Stations that were called as we beat to windward, against the fresh southerly breeze. This abated and veered in the late afternoon and we undertook a final tack after dinner, which will hopefully see us on a single course as we run WSW along the Victorian coast.Until tomorrow evening.Yours AyeCaptain Mike PS. please note I have added photos to all Log entries now.      “Â

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
