Voyage 14/09 Underway

Hi Everyone, Welcome to Voyage 14-09 which is from Broome to Exmouth. Staff Crew for this voyage are:Captain ��� GavSail Master ��� KennyNav ��� AdamWatch Officer ��� BelRed Watch Leader ��� JarodWhite Watch Leader ��� PaulBlue Watch Leader ��� PennyChef ��� Snowy (first Voyage as Chef)Engineer ��� LindseyToday’s voyage commenced with the ship being at anchor in Broome Harbour due to strong winds and a large swell making the Broome Wharf unsafe to embark the Youth Crew. Due to the early arrival of the Youth Crew into Broome and the need to conduct boat transfers to get everyone onboard I decided to start the voyage earlier than usual and by 1440 we had everyone onboard. Once personnel gear was stowed I gave my welcome address and introduced the Staff Crew for this voyage. With the formalities complete the Sail Master kicked off the program with a set of ���ice breakers’ followed by ships tours then Sail Masters and Captains talks. Once these activities were complete everyone sad down and enjoyed one of Snow’s great dinners. The first night of the voyage is always busy and tonight will be no different. On completion of dinner it was straight into safety aloft briefs. Tonight all watches will be given the opportunity to experience there first climb of the foremast (33 meters to the top) and it is hoped that all will be successful in this first challenge.The forecast for tomorrow is fine (normal Broome weather) with a 10-15kt north westerly, so the plan is to depart Broome by early afternoon and start making ground to the south.Until tomorrow, take care.Yours AyeCaptain Gav

Dear readers,
STS Young Endeavour is, by the definition and origin of her name, about Aussie youths trying hard to achieve something difficult. This voyage certainly provided that... and then some. A challenging experience from all angles and areas. Yet the Youth Crew prevailed and found success. They should therefore be justifiably proud of themselves for persevering, seeing the silver lining and never wavering in their mission to have a great adventure. I am very proud of all of them and I'm sure you are too!
9 Days ago 23 Youth Crew from all over Australia, came together to sail this vessel, have fun and challenge themselves. They have not only done that, but have faced and overcome fears, and learnt a lot about themselves and each other.
They leave with new skills, improved persistence, resilience and adaptability, as well as generally knowing they are more capable than what they probably thought. And of course, having made great new friends - most probably, friends for life. It never gets old for us staff members, as we truly love our work.
Fair winds and following seas.
