We are transiting from Cape Verde (Senegal) West Africa to the Falkland Islands at roughly 45 degrees South Lattitude. A lot of folks would pay for such a trip... Instead they are paying me... We have been at sea for 4 days now... At 4pm we crossed the equator into the southern hemisphere... Something I had forgotton about was that equatorial crossings, for those who dont have proof of prior transit or in my case have never actually gone beyond the line, entails a horrifying Line Crossing Ceremony. I have now been fully baptised in god knows what, by the Imperium Neptuni Regis (King Neptunes Court). Yes basically I was dunked in a bathtub full of kitchen scraps and ichky stuff and made to drink some concoction of hot sauce and oooky juice... It was gnarly... We are now officially sailing upside down on the world. Afterward we were treated to an awesome BBQ on the quarterdeck but will will probably never get the smell out of our clothes from the goop they dunked us in
