Grinning from Ear to Ear
Overnight we motor-sailed towards the most southern part of the Australian mainland. During this glorious day a fresh wind rose from the south enabling us to set all squares and do some real sailing on some flat seas and with 25 knots of breeze with the picturesque Wilson’s Promontory as the backdrop. At 3.00pm we anchored in this delightful bay and the Youth Crew went ashore to play some sport and prepare themselves for this evenings three way talks. Tomorrow we may do some bushwalking, before heading south across the Strait towards Tasmania.Youth Crew entry by Patrick Williams, 23, of Queanbeyan, NSW: This is the best! Whales one day, beautiful conditions the next. If it was to end today I’d still have to say that it has been the most exciting, enjoyable, mind-blowing experience I’ve ever had (apart from the time I met my girlfriend). The voyage just keeps on getting better every day. Time flies when you’re having fun, and when your having a ball it slips into overdrive. I miss the cosy comforts of home, but you can’t replace this ���experience of a lifetime’ .I’m constantly grinning from ear to ear…..I’m kinda thinkin’ we all are.Speak tomorrowAndrew Davis

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
