cross over the equator. This voyage, that day was today! Everyone knows
about it, but they do a pretty good job keeping it a secret as to what
exactly goes on. Here's what goes on:
We were all woken up a trail of crew members running around the halls
drumming and using other loud instruments. After breakfast, everyone
headed up to the seventh deck where the pool is for the ceremony.
Basically what happens is we all get nasty fish water/ guts dumped on us
then jump in the pool one and a time. When we get out we have to kiss a
fish. It's kinda silly, but definitely entertaining! After that a ton of
people (girls included!) shave their heads! DON'T WORRY... I am not one
of those girls. I actually almost cried watching this one girl with
really long gorgeous brown hair get it hacked off. Now idea how this
tradition started and there really isn't any significance behind any of
the activities, but it was fun! We also all take a bunch of pictures
holding up zeros to signify crossing the equator.
A little later this afternoon we also took some big group pictures and
videos celebrating the 50th anniversary of Semester at Sea. I'm pretty
sure the video crew said that those will be up on the SAS website, so
you guys should check that out in a few days!!
