Twofold Bay to Sea
Sail Master Kyle woke everyone at 0630 and got them up on deck for an Early Morning Activity (EMA) which consisted of an ‘ Ice Breaker ‘ game. After breakfast the crew mustered on deck for the Climbing Safety Brief and then all climbed to the upper most Top Gallant yard to gain that initial experience with the Ship in a relatively stable state. While the three watches undertook the climb separately it created a lot of interest from passing boats who all came in close for a look and to say hello.After lunch we had the first Daily Brief and Happy Hour (cleaning stations) of the voyage. This was followed by the detailed brief covering all of the Ship’s fitted Lifesaving Safety Equipment.We weighed anchor at 1400, proceeded out of Twofold Bay and commenced the passage to Sydney. The watches practised sail setting and furling until 1700 when we went to Tacking Stations and tacked the Ship twice to ensure everyone understood their role.The crew will keep watches through the night developing their skills on the helm, as lookouts and doing hourly engineering rounds of the Ship as we continue our passage north.Until tomorrow.Yours Aye, Captain Mike

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
