Day Ten – At Anchor Largs Bay
Hi Everyone,
Welcome to day ten of our voyage. Following a good nights sailing the Youth Crew passed through their final waypoint then sailed the ship to its planned anchorage position in Largs Bay coming safely at 0815 this morning.
Once at anchor they completed what remaining tasks they could then handed the Ship back to the Staff Crew at 1000. With the ship safely back in the hands of the Staff the Youth Crew were stood down until l300 so that they could get some much needed sleep following a successful Command Day.
At 1330 this afternoon they were ferried ashore to North Haven Marina where they were given the opportunity to walk to some local shops or enjoy the North Haven beach.
Early this evening with everyone back onboard we enjoyed another Teak Deck BBQ dinner which was followed by the Command Day Debrief. Once completed we recovered the ships RHIB then sent the Youth Crew aloft to put sea furls on all three squares.
To finish of the night’s activities we are now screening a movie ‘under the stars’ on ships upper deck big screen and once completed we will settle into anchor watches overnight.
Early tomorrow morning we will weigh anchor and transit up the Port Adelaide River where we will berth at Dock 2 in the Inner Harbour and embark our guests for our 3hr Community Day Sail which I am sure will be enjoyed by all.
Until tomorrow, take care
Yours Aye
Captain Gav

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
