It was probably drug dealers dont you think?<br />Amazing that alex caught that problem with the boat. Way to go alex! And you Julie catching that other problem you had. You 4 are definitley sailors! Just think of all that you have learned.<br />Get lots of pictures of when you cross the equador and are celebrating. It will be a special moment for sure a real accomplishment all those days at sea.<br />I felt a bit sea sick just thinking about being tipped like that. And then actually cooking hoy cow couldnt imagine it!<br />Cant wait to see all your pictures when you reach the galapagus islands.Tresenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949050668005979541.post-69618846273313063352010-05-25T18:17:28.960-07:002010-05-25T18:17:28.960-07:00there is much planning done by the “Shellbacks” — ...there is much planning done by the “Shellbacks” — those that have already crossed before — in preparation to indoctrinate or “cleanse” the sailors that have not crossed, i.e., the “Pollywogs.” Whenever the crossing occurs (which could be daytime or in the middle of the night), the Pollywogs are subpoenaed to the decks: “You are hereby commanded to appear before the Royal Court of the Realm of Neptune, in the District of Equatorius… because it has been brought to the attention of His Highness, Neptune Rex through his trusty Shellbacks, that this ship about to enter those waters are manned by a crew who has not acknowledged the sovereignty of the Ruler Of The Deep, and has transgressed on his domain and thereby incurred his Royal displeasure.” Then, a fully costumed and seaweed adorned “Neptune” appears before them, with sometimes “Davy Jones” at his side, indicting the Pollywogs for further charges. The Pollywogs, groveling on the deck at “Neptune’s” feet then are put through a sort of college fraternity-like hazing, with demands to eat globs of grossly concocted food combinations that the cook has made up, dousings with buckets of salt water, and other humiliating feats all in the presence of the Shellbacks on board. You have no Shellbacks I guess you have to douse each other and eat worms. Have fun and note the date and time to be engraved on a plaque at a later date.<br />Love the Pirate story, This is all kind of Pirates of the Carribean. I wish I knew just when you were crossing as we would make noise here too.NannyDonnaTugwood or TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14762671390088972802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949050668005979541.post-85180416695330048722010-05-25T16:04:55.788-07:002010-05-25T16:04:55.788-07:00It's good to hear your are getting close to th...It's good to hear your are getting close to the Galapagos.
