SAILING, CAPRICORN CHANNEL
From Youth Crew Bec:Yesterday evening we returned from our brief hiatus on Frasier Island to a BBQ aboard deck. Everyone was re-energised by their time ashore and enjoyed dinner on deck against a perfect sunset. Last night was spent at anchor, affording the youth crew (and staff) the chance to get some much needed sleep.The Youth Crew’s high spirits continued this morning, with more fine weather and special appearance by a couple of whales off of the port side during morning brief. The days activities have consisted of changing the jib and the forestay sail, and practicing rotational tacking stations. With seasickness a thing of the past, the crew are beginning to feel as though we are starting to get handle on the various aspects of managing the ship.Everyone is in a great mood and looking forward to our next stop at Middle Percy Island on Sunday.Bye for nowBec

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
