Under Engines, Enroute to Port Arthur
Ahoy Shipmates,We have just spent a relaxing evening at anchor in Coles Bay, where everyone has been able to catch up on sleep and recharge battreries before continuing on with the program.Today is a big day, with us sailing at 0400 to get to Port Arthur, with plenty of time in hand to sort out our final preparations for command day, which starts tomorrow. This means a final lecture (Rule sof the Road at sea), a communications exercise, sail theory 2 and demonstration tacks, and Captain’s setting and furling drills. Once completed we will head into anchor just off the jetty at the Port Arthur historic site. Once there, we will go ashore for a BBQ and Command Day Elections before we have the famous Ghost Tour.At mid-voyage talks yesterday afternoon everyone reported that they were having a great time and were looking forward to the challenges ahead.The next Captain’s Log should be up late tomorrow, and will be done by the elected Captain, whoever that may be…Until tomorrow,Yours AyeChrisChris GallowayCommander RANCommanding Officer

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
