The Pacific
Sep-Nov 2024
Throughout history there has always been a ceremony
performed onboard a ship crossing the equator
where those who had never done that before
are "sacrificed" to King Neptune and must "kiss a fish"
On this day crew members played the parts of King Neptune and his court
as well as those chosen to be "sacrificed"

All passengers were given certificates to mark our crossing the Equator
