South Passage

⛵ What an incredible five-day adventure voyage for the Townsville Grammar School Year 10 students aboard South Passage! 🌊

The voyage took students from Townsville to Orpheus Island, up to Brooke Island, through the spectacular Hinchinbrook Channel, and back to Rattlesnake Island. 🏝️

For Command Day, the students navigated from Rattlesnake Island to a marker in the bay, successfully plotting a course past designated points. They also tackled some fun bonus challenges:

🎶 Singing to Louise, our Cook
🪢 Showing Toni, Red Watch Leader, 20 knots
⛵ Identifying parts of the ship for Phil, Blue Watch Leader
🐠 Performing a song and dance about sea life for Rachael, White Watch Leader

The students completed every task brilliantly and earned the Silver Award for Command Day! 🥈👏

Thank you, Year 10, for such a fantastic voyage. The ROPES principles were upheld 100% throughout the adventure.

🎉 Congratulations to everyone involved! ⚓🌟

🌊⛵ Final Voyage Update – Townsville Grammar School Year 10 Adventure Under Sail! ⛵🌊

Command Day has arrived! 💪⚓

Today it’s over to our amazing Year 10 crew as they take the helm and sail South Passage home to Townsville! 🌬️⛵ Every knot they’ve learned, every sail they’ve hoisted, every anchor they’ve weighed, and every challenge they’ve conquered has led to this moment.

From strangers to shipmates, they’ve grown in confidence, teamwork, leadership and resilience. Watching these young sailors step up, make decisions, and work together as a crew has been incredible! 🌟👏

Let’s go Team! Fair winds and following seas as you bring us safely home! 🌊⚓💙

⛵️ Townsville Grammar School Year 10 Voyage – Adventure Under Sail Update! 🌊

What a fantastic day aboard South Passage! ⚓️

Today we weighed anchor at beautiful Orpheus Island and set sail for a refreshing swim at Brooke Island 🏝️🐠. After cooling off in the crystal-clear waters, we hoisted the sails once more and enjoyed a spectacular passage down the scenic Hinchinbrook Channel ⛵🌬️.

As the sun began to set, we dropped anchor for the night in another stunning location, reflecting on a day filled with teamwork, seamanship, and adventure. 🌅⚓

Our Townsville Grammar School Year 10 students are having an absolute ball! 😄 From learning new sailing skills and working together as a crew to creating lifelong memories, they’re embracing every challenge and making the most of life under sail. 💙

Fair winds and following seas until tomorrow! 🌊⛵
