Salty Sea Dogs?
Yesterday remained at anchor off McCrae, Port Phillip Bay. The Youth Crew experienced first hand the passage of a squall and rode out the strong winds which followed for several hours. All watchescontinued the olde traditional rope races and during the evening a challenging ship’s quiz night won by the famous Mic Cafe Team. All watches overnight participated in the electric fence exercise designed to develop team effectiveness and monitor own performances. A fabulous outcome with all watches exceeding their own expectations, well done. Today the ship sailed away from the anchorage and is currently sailing under all squares, both t’ween mast staysails andthe mainsail.YOUTH CREW IMPRESSIONSAndrew, Tasmania – Beautiful, strong people and the presence of the ocean created an excellent learning environment.

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
