Movies and Popcorn
Last night we stayed at anchor, watched a movie and ate popcorn.After happy hour this morning we sailed the ship from anchor and departed Western Port with all sail set. It was drizzling and cold but we had a great time setting all the sail.This afternoon I talked to the YC and explained the purpose of Command Day – they seem very excited by the prospect. We’ll stay at sea overnight and conduct a very important teamwork activity in the watches. Tomorrow, Wednesday, we will enter Port Philip Bay and anchor off Dromana. At the moment we are getting the strongest winds this Voyage and the YC are loving it.Stay tuned,Andrew Davis

Dear readers,
STS Young Endeavour is, by the definition and origin of her name, about Aussie youths trying hard to achieve something difficult. This voyage certainly provided that... and then some. A challenging experience from all angles and areas. Yet the Youth Crew prevailed and found success. They should therefore be justifiably proud of themselves for persevering, seeing the silver lining and never wavering in their mission to have a great adventure. I am very proud of all of them and I'm sure you are too!
9 Days ago 23 Youth Crew from all over Australia, came together to sail this vessel, have fun and challenge themselves. They have not only done that, but have faced and overcome fears, and learnt a lot about themselves and each other.
They leave with new skills, improved persistence, resilience and adaptability, as well as generally knowing they are more capable than what they probably thought. And of course, having made great new friends - most probably, friends for life. It never gets old for us staff members, as we truly love our work.
Fair winds and following seas.
