Just a Puff of Wind
Today, after setting and furling drills, where the YC proved that they could safely and competently set and furl all sails, we continued our passage east. We had hoped to stop at Bremer Bay but the winds have moderated to just a puff and therefore we need to get closer to Esperance for Command Day. This afternoon the YC held elections and shortly afterwards the new team was born. This evening they will plan for their big day out and make all the necessary preparations overnight because at 0600 Tuesday morning Young Endeavour will be theirs for 24 hours. Their task will be sail along amongst the islands off Esperance (and there are a few of them) arriving off the port and anchoring the ship.No YC entry available for the Captain’s Log. It seems they have higher priorities on their mind.Stay tunedAndrew 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
