Satellite connection disrupted for 3 days.
What a strange event. About 50 of the ships crew and their children travelling with them were initiated by King Neptune. Their short comings were announced to the assembled crowd of about 1,000 people on deck and then the initiation began.
They were all forced to either kiss, bite, or lick a large 100# Opa that had been mounted in a block of ice. Then they were forced to pass through a gauntlet where fellow crew plastered them with cooked spaghetti and mush coloured yellow, pink and blue. Then they were forced to go before the Captain who ruled that they either jumped into the pool or were made to sit in the sun where the mess caked and dried on their bodies. It was quite the experience.
Roak shared that when he was three his parents took him from Batavia (Jakarta) to Amsterdam and he crossed the equator and was taken to the pollywog ceremony. During his initiation he was handed to King Neptune and Roak bit him.
