The Hole-in-the-Wall
I transferred Command of Young Endeavour to Adam Woolley, 21, and YC of Voyage 10/01 at 1600 today. After a yummy dinner the YC got underway and sailed the ship from the anchorage, heading north for their first destination, the mysterious and hard to find Hole-in-the-Wall, which we should reach by early morning.This Command Day is 42 hours long and the YC are charged up to put in an enormous effort to sail the ship nearly 200 miles to Port Essington, via Hole-in-the-Wall.After a cautious start the YC are now right into it and cruising along at about 8 knots and their confidence and teamwork is increasing by the minute.No YC entry tonight. The chefs are too busy.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
