Passage to Twofold Bay Via Jervis Bay
Ahoy there shipmates,A valuable night was spent at sea with the youth crew consolidating their watch-on-deck, engineering rounds and sail handling skills; whilst further getting to know their watch mates. The watches also undertook the leadership activity called the “Bearex”, designed to challenge and encourage their leadership, teamwork and communication skills.After Morning Brief the Ship entered Jervis Bay at approximately 0900 to conduct Demonstrational Tacks. This activity gives each youthie the opportunity to observe what occurs on the bridge during a Tack or a Wear. This is valuable for everyone’s general knowledge and is vital for the youth crew Captain, Navigator and Sailmaster forCommand Day. The Ship anchored off Honeymoon Bay just after lunch.After the next episode of “Rope Races”, we unfortunately farewelled another youthie, Jasmine Hutchinson, who also asked to be put ashore because she was suffering too severely from sea sickness. Jazzy was picked up at Callala Bay by her Mum.The Youthies are ashore now enjoying a walk and swim at Honeymoon Bay.It is intended to remain at anchor here until after dinner and then weigh anchor and continue our passage south.Until tomorrow.Yours Aye, Captain Mike

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
