![]() ![]() Soon after the first rollers hit, the sick bags were out in force, with a relay of youthies heading for the leeward rail to have a chunder. A group of the youthies got their first splash of seawater sitting out on the bowsprit for the crossover into Bass Strait. After being prompted out of bed by The Choirboys’ Run to Paradise’, we weighed anchor and headed for the rip at the opening of Port Phillip Bay. ![]() ![]() I’ll handover to Kate and Julian for some further detail…until tomorrow, fair winds, Captain Kenny. For training purposes we have struck the main sail and set the storm tri sail, and are currently motor sailing…the aim being to make sure we make our anchorage at King Island in time to meet the bus we have organised for tours…did someone say cheese? Some time ashore will allow our young adventurers the opportunity to recover their stomachs before we start making our way west towards Adelaide. Since leaving Port Philllip this morning the theme for the day has been to enjoy some rough weather sailing (and it’s not that rough!), and simply hang on. Despite the dreaded ‘green goblin’ rearing it’s ugly head (sea sickness) spirits are high. As I write we are on a southerly course with about 30 knots of breeze from the south west, and a 3-4 metres south westerly swell…conditions Young Endeavour thrives in…not so much the youth crew. Ahoy shipmates, and greetings from Bass Strait. ![]()
