MACKAY
CAPTAINS LOG V10/06 TUESDAY 27 JUN 06 Hello and welcome to the adventures of V10/06. Our voyage commenced at 1500 yesterday afternoon with the arrival of our new Youth Crew, most of whom are returnees from a previous voyage last year. After introductions it was straight into ships tours, dinner and before long, climbing the foremast. After a pleasant climb to the top it was time to depart Mackay and so at 2200, with a slight SSE breeze and a full tide we backed gently off the marina berth and headed out to Keswick Island. After a short 20nm passage we came to anchor at 0110. A pleasant night at anchor has been followed by the excitement of a new day and the challenges ahead. Ian Hibbard LEUT, RAN Captain V10/06

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
