Melbourne Weather!
Voyage Log – Friday 27 Nov 09/ Day 10Melbourne weather! ��� you know what I mean – and it has all come true in the last few days. We have had it all. Fortunately we were spared from the worst and were even lucky enough to have some the best around as we headed out into the Bay for a half-day sail. This event exists so that those otherwise unable to experience a full voyage can enjoy YOUNG ENDEAVOUR, as well as to provide the chance for the now salty Youth Crew to act as hosts – to show their pride in the Ship and in their achievements. Today we were pleased to have guests from Shepparton Access Disability, Challenge, and Women Against Marginalisation join us, as well as the Mayor of the local Hobson’s Bay City Council, Cr. Peter Hemphill. We hope they all had a good time ��� I know the Youth Crew were at their best as hosts and that not many of Snowey’s donuts and cream-buns made it to the bridge! It wasn’t long after we landed our guests that it was back out to sea, however, and making way to our anchorage position in the calm waters of Hobson’s Bay. As I write this the entire crew is laying aloft to put their best harbour furls into the square sails and making sure we look all ship-shape for the final day!Hope to see many of you tomorrow …Captain Paul.

Hi Everyone,
Welcome to Young Endeavour’s Second voyage for 2026. This voyage will see us sail from Hobart to Geelong via the West Coast of Tasmania, which will give us the chance to see some spectacular scenery and be tested by some very unpredictable weather conditions, which is all part of the adventure. I have always loved sailing the Tasmanian Coast and of course, the notorious Bass Strait because of the challenges they throw at us but it really is a special part of this wonderful country. We have put together another talented Staff Crew for this voyage who I know will take great care of our new Youth Crew ensuring that they all have an amazing experience.
The Young Endeavour Staff Crew for this voyage are as follows:
Captain – Gav
Sail Master – Dion
Navigator – Jack
Watch Officer - Karson
Red Watch Leader – Mick
White Watch Leader – Simon assisted by Benny
Blue Watch Leader – Mitch
Chef – Nathan
Engineer - Dan
YEYS Voyage Coordinator - Matt
The voyage commenced at 1500 today when the new Youth Crew joined Young Endeavour berthed alongside Hobarts Princess No 2 Berth (UTAS). Once we had everyone on board and gear had been stowed, we mustered our new Youth Crew and a large gathering of family and friends on deck for my welcome address followed by Staff Crew introductions. On completion we farewelled family and friends then got straight into a safety brief. Ice breaker’ activities and ship tours. Dinner followed, with tonight’s menu consisting of Roast Lamb, Chicken Kiev, Americana Pasta Bake and numerous vegetables and a wonderful selection of deserts. Once we had cleaned up from dinner, I completed my Captain’s Brief, which was followed by Dion’s Sail Master Chat. With these chats out of the way we spent the rest of the evening doing full value contacts and deck safety then turned-in for a good night’s sleep.
Tomorrow morning we will depart our berth, head down the Derwent River and into the D’Entrecasteaux Channel where we will anchor for a few hours and complete first climbs of the foremast.
Until tomorrow, take care.
Yours aye, Captain Gav.
