Day 5 – Batemans Bay Shore Visit
Ahoy all,
Mitch and Will here on tonight’s Captains log duties.
After what felt like a life time at sea we finally landed in Batemans Bay after a rough two day sail from Deal Island. We started off the day seeing a seal waving at us to anchoring up on the beautiful Batemans Bay.
Afterwards, we then underwent the morning brief, were we learnt some new navigations skills from Evan and did two games of rope races which is apparently a non-competitive/competitive game. This was soon followed by the best lunch from the best chef Jarod before going ‘ashore’ for a swim. After taking some time to reflect about our progress so far, we then headed back to the ship to be greeted by another of chef Jarod’s culinary delights – a teak deck bbq.
With full stomachs and smiles on faces, we then began the happiest hour of the day by being taught some “famous” dance moves from Emma “the 2-6 heave” and the “checking away”.
Once all was settled, we then learnt a bit more about navigation markers and were assigned our anchor watch for the night ahead. Thus, we ended the day with card games, hot milo, heaps of laughs and a stray elf on the shelf.

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
