Deck Olympics
Having had a good night’s rest we weighed anchor at 0800 this morning and commenced sailing to the NW towards Townsville. It has been another glorious sunny day. This afternoon we had some deck Olympics which was a lot of fun and later on we all got out on deck and completed an upper deck clean and rust scrub in preparation for coming aongside tomorrow. The YC all got together in their watches and spent an hour or so discussing the voyage and what they have learnt over the past four days.We bid farewell to the Whitsunday’s today and although the ship will return in a couple of weeks, it will be my last visit to my favourite sailing grounds in my favourite ship. Sad for me I guess.The winds are a bit flukey at the moment so it may well be a night of tacking or we may get lucky. In either case the ship will be berthing at Berth No.8 Pier 2, Townsville Harbour tomorrow morning at 1100.Chat to you thenAndrew

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
