SAILING, COMMAND DAY
Hey there, Captain Stu the Guru reporting! I am unfortunately typeing this for the second time as whilst I am a guru of many things, computers are not one of them. We held our command day elections last night, and long story short, thes are our fearless commanders:CO-Stu (the Guru)XO-Jen (Smee)Nav-Mia (Miagellan)OOW-Aaron (Az Dog), Mitch (Son of a) Gunn & (Crazy) SylWatch Leaders-Paul (Jack Sparrow), Sam (Turtle) & Alle (Ariel)Today started much the same as the rest with breakfast and happy hour. After that, I held a brief to the youth telling them the basic plan of attack for our period of command. We then dressed up as pirates to surprise the staffies, however, they dressed up funny too! My first task as Captain required me to pilot us out of the bay. This however prooved difficult as we had a headwind to sail into. Finally, we sailed towards the land at the end of the bay and tacked once we hit a few knots. Now we are cruising to our first check point!

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
