Mackay ~ on way to Keswick Island

The anticipation is over as we set sail from Mackay harbour. The feeling of familiarity is broken by the all the newbies, almost a completely new staff and the boys having the 12 berth for this voyage. I have constantly been hitting my head on the anchor motor and bunk above.
Didn't get a photo of this but if you follow these simple instructions you can see what I mean:
  • Go to virtual fleet on the navy website.
    A flash animation will pop up.
  • Click the buoy that says "start tour".
  • Hover over the red tap until young endeavour becomes visible (its the bottom one).
  • Click the "take the tour" post-it note.
  • Flick the youth accommodation switch.
    (The 12 berth is at the bow of the ship which rocks the most in high swells).
  • Press the flashing view tour button.
    Now you can pan around the 12 berth by holding down the left mouse button over the image.
    My bunk is below the seated fellow who greets you.
    The only way in or out was in between the 2 poles he is sitting behind.
    If you pan to the right in between the two front poles is where the 2 anchor motors have since been mounted (you need to use you imagination for this)

  • Saw some amazing stars that haven't seen since living in the CBD. Definitely rougher swells than last time with nearly everyone having a spew (your narrator included).

    Here is the corroborating Captains log entry

    That flash thing is pretty cool, must have taken for ever to have developed. But its so complicated, without your explination I never would have found what you were talking about.
