Polly, the Master Pizza Maker, cooked a great meal and we are now ready to go climbing and knot tying.My champion team for this Voyage are as follows: Nath – XO, Mhanda – swimgirl, boatgirl, Eddie (his 48th and last Voyage) – White Watch Leader, Barry – Red WL, Karen – Blue WL, Rags – Engineer,Polly – pizza maker.Welcome to Chris Hirst who joins us from the UK (Yorkshire to be precise) and is on exchange for the next two Voyages as part of the Australian- UK Sail Training Association Annual exchange of young tall ship sailors between the two countries.

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
