Well Done Team!
Current situation at 1800: A hot northerly wind from inland Australia blew over us for much of the day and then suddenly stopped. The sun then took over and shined down on us relentlessly as the YC learned all about the many lines on YE and about sail setting. By late afternoon we were clear of the port of Ceduna and heading south – finally.The YC are well. Surprisingly there are only a few sickies, but I am sure they will recover soon. Everyone is pretty tired. We only hada few short hours of sleep last night but the YC have taken up the challenge, worked really hard, remembered heaps and performed verywell. Well done, team.Stay tuned,Andrew Davis

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
