It was a nice lazy day at sea today. I'm still trying to shake the cold I picked up and it's a bit better today.
There were four EXC lectures/presentations today: Marsupials, Thoughts on Costa Rica, Impact of Kon Tiki, and Coral Reefs. As we crossed the equator around 10:30am this morning there was a 'ceremony' to initiate selected members of the crew as shellbacks for their first time crossing the equator. After 'trumped up' charges were presented to King Neptune, all of the guilty had to kiss a frozen fish and then get slathered with a very messy paste. The Captain and his senior officers then passed judgement on whether the guilty gas to bake in the sun or jump in the pool to clean off. It was good fun.
Before dinner we walked the Promenade deck and watched the NASCAR and Brown Boobies hunt for fish while sailing alongside the ship. It was great fun to watch.
