Old Tom and ‘sweet things’
Last night the wind tapered off and left us motor-sailing toward Eden. As we made our approach this morning it rose from the north we alongside the wharf and ready to go ashore after five days onboard.Old Tom at the Eden Killer Whale Museum was visited first, followed by the shops and by late afternoon the YC were seen to be in high spirits with bags of ‘sweet things’ returning onboard. Woody was cooking up a storm in a BBQ on deck. To finish a great day the YC entertained all in a round of three way talks. It was very funny.Tonight we shall stay here and depart early Saturday morning to continue north along the NSW coast. The wind has left us but it will return early next week – just in time for their Command Day. For now we have the weekend at sea to look forward to. The YC are all well rested and in good shape, some sore muscles and a few bruises here and there, but they have the right attitude and that will get them through anything.Stay tuned,Andrew Davis

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
