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

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
