Crossing The Line

Today just before noon, we crossed the Equator.  Naturally we had to have the full King Neptune treatment on the pool deck, where all "Pollywogs" (people who had never crossed the Equator before) were ordered by His Highness to kiss the fish.  Once they had done so, they graduated from Pollywog-dom to becoming trusty "Shellbacks".

Here. is one brave Pollywog doing a good job with the fish -- that poor creature (fish, not man!) must have had chapped lips by the end of the fun and games!
