Day 7 – Tangalooma
Ahoy there everyone,Welcome to day seven, after a challenging night at sea during which we crossed the NSW/QLD border. The morning commenced at 0700 with another rousing tune this time from White Watch which heralded in a new day and new time zone retarding clocks by one hour as the ship rounded Moreton Island. After morning brief the ship entered Moreton Bay and motor sailed to the western shore of Moreton Island anchoring in the lee of Tangalooma Resort just after lunch. The Youth Crew were then ferried ashore in the ships sea boat to participate in a beach sporting activity and then stretch their legs. On return to the ship a superb upper deck BBQ cooked by Heather, Sam and Daylan was eagerly consumed prior to a final teamwork activity. All Youth Crew have now reverted to anchor watches. The intention is remain at anchor overnight prior to weighing the following morning and remaining within Moreton Bay for the adventure and challenge that is Young Endeavour. Yours Aye Captain Damien

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
