Thanks Darwin
We departed Darwin Naval Base this afternoon after a very busy week-long maintenance period. Many thanks go out to the people of Darwin for your hospitality and assistance throughout our stay. A special thanks also goes out to our maintenance services manager, Mr Tony Rose, without his dedication we would not have completed all of the work that we commenced. Thank you.Our new Youth Crew arrived from all over Australia this afternoon, keen and eager to set sail on a high seas adventure. We’ve got a great voyage ahead of us, along some of the most beautiful coastline in Australia – The Kimberley. I’ll keep you updated as we go.Until next time, though, I hope all is smooth sailing.Matthew Rowe

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
