Captain Lee-Anne and her crew
1800hElections were held this morning and everyone it seems is happy with the result. Today the YC prepared for Command Day and spent time with the relevant Staff Crew member whose position they will be filling in order to drain the last few clues and handy hints from them.The YC have taken Command of YOUNG ENDEAVOUR and at 1500 hours I handed the reins to Lee-Anne Dimmock. The ship was hove to at the start but the YC quickly set the necessary sails and started the ship moving in the right direction. Tonight the wind is forecast to blow from the direction they need travel to, but I know they can do it. I am sure they will work well as a team.The latest weather forecast is just to hand and it seems they may be getting some varied weather, that is wind from any direction, to liven up the day. It appears that we may do a bit of tacking tonight.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
