SAILING, NSW SOUTH COAST
Ahoy Me Hearties,AAARRRGHHH! There has been much speakin’ like a Pirate today….Overnight we all had a relaxing night off alongside – but no let up! This morning we started at 0630 with Early Morning Activity, followed by breakfast, morning brief and happy hour. The team went ashore for coffee and mid-voyage talks (yes, we are half-way there already) followed by some free time off in Eden. We sailed at 1300, and since then we have been sailing under a full press up the NSW South Coast towards Jervis Bay at a good 5-6 knots.This afternoon we had a sail theory lecture followed by demonstration tacks, where the YC take turns to witness a tack from the bridge. This evening is our last night at sea before command day, and everyone is putting in thier preferneces for the election tomorrow. In the morning we will have a communications exercise, followed by Captain’s setting and furling drills. We should get alongside at HMAS CRESWELL early afternoon where we will play sport, have a BBQ and conduct our command day elections.Until tomorrow, shipmates,Yours AYYYYEEEE,ChrisChris GallowayCommander, RANCommanding Officer

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
