Initiating the "poliwogs" in the crew as we crossed the equator, going north to Singapore. These poor souls who had not crossed the equator were brought on deck, read a list of trumped up 'crimes' against Neptune in a hilarious skit. then smeared with a bunch of slop, made to kiss a fish, (really!!) and dumped in the pool. After which they got a certificate and we stayed out of the pool!!
Fantastic pictures and commentary. It really looks so interesting and exotic. I love Bos' new look.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are terrific. Bet it only took half a day to get that done. The Equator crossing and also crossing the Arctic Circle are crazy things we have only watched from afar. I wondered how they cleaned the pool after all that stuff. Were the big ceramic pots for planting or something else? Maybe you and Bos can get matching sarongs for quiet evenings at home. Glad you are having fun.
