We’ll be Tired Tomorrow!
Greetings all and apologies to anyone who spotted the Spencer Gulf mistake in last night’s entry. Today has been a big day of learning about safety onboard, line handling and sail setting. We have now learnt how to tack the ship, which takes all of the youth crew and having achieved that can safely continue throughout the night.Since the wind is coming from the direction that we want to sail it seems likely that we will all be on deck a number of times during the night to tack, so our already tired crew will undoubtedly be even more tired tomorrow.Until tomorrow, safe travels to you allMatthew Rowe

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
