Tsunami Warning
Hi Everyone, Just a quick entry in the Captains Log to let you know that we are fine and have not felt any effect of the Tsunami. We are currently located 15nm to the south east of Saint Helens Point and are currently enjoying light south westerly winds with a 1m swell. The sun has just come out and we are close enough to land to be able to appreciate the spectacular coastline of the East Coast of Tasmania. Overnight we experienced some heavy weather sailing but the Youth Crew have came through it with flying colours and now all signs of seasickness have miraculously disappeared. This morning we again set all fore and aft sails then completed a good set of rotational tacks. As I write this log the Youth Crew are busy with ���mid voyage talks�� and it is hoped that the wind will freshen this afternoon so that we can achieve a set of demonstrational tacks. This activity gives the Youth Crew the opportunity to come to the bridge and witness the tacking of the ship from the commands perspective and is an important demonstration of ship handling prior to the commencement of Command Day.Later this evening we hope to anchor in the spectacular Wineglass Bay were we plan to remain overnight.Until tomorrow, take careYours AyeCaptain Gav

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
