From Sean Barrett, YC Voyage 00/06Australia day. Was filled full of preperations and cleaning of theship for the much anticipated cocktail party. Also celebrating theB’day of ‘Young Endeavour’. It all went off splendidly thanks to goodorgsanisation and effort from every one involved. With many thanks toBlue watch during the day.Every one at the party, including NZ Navy representatives and others,had a smashing time. The food was great , the bubbly was flowing andthe guests were wowed by the crew’s rendition of ‘I am Australian’.Also worth a mention was Fly’s inspirational speech.Friday. We cast off at approximately 1300 to take part in a tallships race, which consisted of, ‘The Spirit of NZ’, ‘The SorennLarsen’ etc. It was a a pretty good time with everyone getting intothier costumes. Young Endeavour did the right thing by the Kiwis,and let them win… Jordo rates a special mention today, it was saidthat all of the staffies think he’s a bit weird and has bad B.O.Regards,Sean

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
