We Crossed the Equator!

This was a HUGE personal achievement for me. Its been a dream for soooo long, and was quite emotional for me really. King Neptune showed up and everyone paid homage to him as we went from being Polliwogs (those who have not sailed across the equator) to Shellbacks (those who have sailed across the equator). It really is a BIG DEAL if you are a sailor. Enjoy the photos of the crossing and Neptune's baptism! (viewer discretion advised, Old men in Speedos..)

The baptism brew, dumped on everyone as they honor King Neptune!

King Neptune is all his glory!
