NTH OF AERLIE BEACH
Yesterday after land legs had been regained (it has been said that the only true cure for sea sickness is to sit under a tree) and the realisation that the land was not moving, Phils (the watch officer) taxi service returned us all back to the ship. A night of fun and frivolity was had doing three way talks where Youth Crew members got to sit down and talk to members from other watches.Sleep was the order of the night and as such watches were reduced to only three people for reduced periods of time. As morning dawned so the day commenced at 0630. After a promising start to the morning, the liquid sunshine of the tropics returned to dampen the evolution of sailing from anchor, but not our spirits. With a light 10-15kts we resumed our passage north.Ian HibbardLEUT, RANCaptain 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
