Voyage 18 for 2009 – Escape from the Heat Wave
Hi all! Thank you for having a look at Captain’s Log ��� I hope to update our progress every night by 10pm so please log on and have a look ��_We have just got started with Voyage 18 for 2009 ��� Adelaide to Williamstown ��� with the following esteemed staff crew:Captain PaulSail Master DionNavigator AdamBoats Officer IanWhite Watch Leader JessRed Watch Leader PennyBlue Watch Leader DanChef SnoweyEngineer LindseySpecial Guest Jodie from the YEYS OfficeHaving got away from the berth and given a short range exchange of salutations with the Sail Training Ship ���One & All’, we made our way down and out of the harbour. After only an hour we selected a spot at Semaphore Anchorage to spend the night, so as to begin the process of learning how to live safely in what is a new and exciting environment for the Youth Crew. Having found the others in their watches, the Youth Crew has already had the chance to play some ���ice-breaking’ games and to get to know and trust the people they will work and live (in close confines) with for 11 days. Tonight we plan to have everyone up on the very highest yard on the mast so that they can appreciate the three dimensions of a square-rigged ship ��_ and the type of challenges they can expect to welcome as we make our way to Williamstown.We were lucky to avoid the heat wave in Adelaide today due to some light cloud cover ��� but tomorrow promises to be hot so we hope to be underway early. We look like having a few nights at sea before we have our first chance to go ashore and hug a tree ��_Will write again tomorrow ��_ so stay tuned,Captain Paul

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
