Sailing, Capricorn Channel, Command Day
Ahoy there!Captain Carrie here. Just a quick update on todays events. Command Day has arrived. After a quick trip ashore Great Keppell Island for some fun and games the whole youth crew gained control of the fantastic Young Endeavour at 1300. I am in command for the first 12hrs of the day.Our Beach Assault Team went ashore to claim the beach and sing Australia’s National Anthem loudly and proudly. A large hammock was built to withstand the whole crew on the ship, including all staffies.We got moving in the afternoon with very little wind, and a few learning curves. Sailing now, although not as fast as we would like. We are thrilled at being given the chance to sail this amazing ship and look forward to sailing in to Gladstone tomorrow.Thats all from me for now. I wish Pete luck with his 12hrs of command.Cheers, Carrie 🙂

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
