All ye POLYWOGS be weary because I am no longer among you! Officially, at this moment in time (Saturday, Sept. 26, 2009 at 10:45am) I am a SHELLBACK! This means I have been initiated by the MV Explorer crew because right now I am in the Southern Hemisphere! I crossed the equator! Woo!!!!!! This equatorial celebration is called Neptune Day, and I just spent the last two hours watching people jump in fish guts, kiss a fish, bow to King Neptune (played by our very English Captain, Jeremy), and most of all.... GET THEIR HEADS SHAVED!!!!
Don't worry, I didn't shave my head. But there are tons of guys and GIRLS walking around the ship bald as babies! I kissed a fish though and let's just say it didn't taste like sushi.
So now I am no longer among the polywogs who have never crossed the equator. I am now, and will always be, a shellback!
