Keen For A Challenge
Current situation at 1800: Our new Youth Crew joined early today after their long bus trip from Adelaide so we got going ahead of schedule. We sadly waved good bye to Port Pirie and headed to a snug anchorage for the night. As I type the YC are preparing to go aloft for the first time. They appear keen and ready to take on the challenge. They are also looking forward to getting underway tomorrow and heading south down the Spencer Gulf.Hello to all the people in Port Pirie, Whyalla and Port Lincoln who may be reading the Captains Log this evening.My champion team of Staffies for this Voyage to Adelaide are: Nath (Nazza) – XO, Aaron (Azza) – Nav, Chook (Chozza) – Watch Officer, Rags (Razza) – White Watch Leader, Mhanda (Mazza) – Blue WL,Chantal (Chazza) – Red WL, Barry (Bazza) – Engineer, Polly (Pozza) – Chef.Stay tuned,Andrew Davis (Bozza)

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
