First Day Voyage 19/08
Today started with a lovely sunny day to welcome the Youth Crew of Voyage 19/08. All Youth Crew arrived at 1500 and by 1530 introductions were made and it was time to get the show underway. With a helpful off berth breeze, Young Endeavour commenced a scenic passage down the Adelaide River, anchoring off Semaphore at 1749.After ice breakers, ships tours and dinner, all Youth Crew discussed voyage aims with the Voyage Captain and Sailing Master and then commenced their first climb. All Youth Crew made it to the very top of the Foremast and by the end of the night had started learning the ropes.We have an early start tomorrow morning and a long day ahead of us. A good nights sleep will be welcomed by all!Until tomorrow…I. HIBBARDLEUT, RANVoyage Captain

Dear readers,
STS Young Endeavour is, by the definition and origin of her name, about Aussie youths trying hard to achieve something difficult. This voyage certainly provided that... and then some. A challenging experience from all angles and areas. Yet the Youth Crew prevailed and found success. They should therefore be justifiably proud of themselves for persevering, seeing the silver lining and never wavering in their mission to have a great adventure. I am very proud of all of them and I'm sure you are too!
9 Days ago 23 Youth Crew from all over Australia, came together to sail this vessel, have fun and challenge themselves. They have not only done that, but have faced and overcome fears, and learnt a lot about themselves and each other.
They leave with new skills, improved persistence, resilience and adaptability, as well as generally knowing they are more capable than what they probably thought. And of course, having made great new friends - most probably, friends for life. It never gets old for us staff members, as we truly love our work.
Fair winds and following seas.
Captain Adam Charlie Farley+
