Crossing the Equator








April 3rd, Friday

There was a King Neptune Ceremony on the boat when we crossed the Equator. The king and his mermaid queen decided onthe fate of the polywog crew. Everyone had to "kiss the fish" before they were treated with colored slime and theneither thrown in the drink or left to survive on dry land. I think I'd much rather have gone for a swim! We allrecieved certificates for crossing the equator and the crew assured us that by honoring Neptune we would have safe passage and smooth waters. We shall see!!

At least they didn't keel haul ya over the equator! You both look so happy and relaxed. Love the luge. We are finally back in double digit temps here and the kids are going into summer mode: flip flops, shorts, and no attention span. Looking forward to the Easter break this weekend.
Cheers!
