Smoking-high Speed
We left Gove this morning at 0700 and set all our sails for a great day of smoking-high speed toward the north. It’s a little rough but the YC are now salty sea dogs and used to the motion. A few have enjoyed being on the bowsprit and digging into a few large swells.After a break, the general feeling is that it’s good to be back on the high seas, and shipping some green water. We’ve averaged about 8 knots and we will wear ship this evening and head west towards our next destination of Goulbourn Island which is about 250 miles away.The YC are becoming very good sailors and improving as a team. The next goal for them will be an extended Command Day planned for Saturday and lasting 42 hours instead of the normal 24.No takers for the YC entry tonight.Stay tunedAndrew Davis

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
