Motoring, off Gladstone, Qld.
Good Morning Shipmates,Overnight we have continued our passage to 1770. The wind has been very light, meaning we have been under engines overnight. The good thing about that is that we have been able to get down to Hervey Bay area sooner than planned to enjoy the waters of the southern Great Barrier Reef and Fraser Island.During the night we consolidated our basic mariner skills, with the watches climbing, sail handling, steering, keeping lookout and now navigating. Preparations for command day are now well advnced with everyone showing a good level of knowledge and skill. Yesterday afternoon we had a birthday pavlova to celebrate Kirsty from Kingaroy’s 19th birthday. This morning’s morning brief included a new segment from the ship’s resident magician, Pete Wong. Entitled That’s just Wong”

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
