The highlight today was the King Neptune’s ceremony at
3:30 pm. Only four shameless passengers and several ship’s crew were targeted
by the King and his Queen. The ship’s crew were innocent souls who had not
crossed the Equator in their life and according to maritime creed must endure
correct passage rites to ensure safe passenger through King Neptune’s realm.
The outcome was complete public humiliation by being splattered with various
foods and coloured material. Also they had to kiss a fresh fish. Even the MC of
the public affair was targeted at the end. We did actually cross the equator at
6 pm and now in the southern hemisphere still sailing south to Tahiti. Another
highlight today is Anne is on the amend recovering from her cold of virus and
we actually walked five times around the ship before lunch – a whole 4
kilometres worth. Tomorrow we are still sailing south and at sea all day. There
is a formal night so it’s another dress up. Until tomorrow – cheers.
