The Nutty Navigator
Last night we sailed passed Wollongong and this morning arrived off Jervis Bay. The weather has been kind – with generally following winds and seas around two metres. Two metres was too much for several YC though. There was quite a bit of fish feeding last night and this morning, the fish were fed from about every position on board – including the top of the mast.After two big days the YC deserved a rest so we had a few hours of quiet time to recharge. Late this afternoon a set of Rope Races was held (the aim being to be the first to locate a nautical fixture on the ship) which was followed by the Nutty (debonaire) Navigator’s Nav. Lecture.Spirits continue to improve and all the YC are doing fine. Learning about the ship and their shipmates is what they are experiencing at the moment and the smiles and jokes are starting to appear. Tomorrow, Saturday, we intend arriving in Eden for a night’s break before heading out into Bass Strait.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
