Slimy Pollywogs no more!

We have crossed the equator (didn’t even feel the bump!). Maritime tradition makes a big deal about the first time a sailor (a slimy pollywog) crosses the equator. There is a fun, silly initiation ceremony, complete with King Neptune, being made to kiss a smelly fish, get covered with gross stuff and get dunked in the pool. After that, they become “Shellbacks”.
Today (Monday) is our 5th straight day at sea, and we’re loving it! The ocean is so vast we haven’t seen another ship since we left Hawaii!
