NEPTUNE DAY


This day was the first day that it rained on the ship. So Neptune Day is not just a SAS tradition, but it is actually a long standing Maritime tradition, that when it is you first time crossing the equator by sea you get fish guts spilled on you, you kiss a fish and you pay homage to Captain Neptune or something or other.

Well I think I was a Scallywag and now I am something else since I have crossed the equator by sea. (It doesn’t count if you cross it by air or land). It was a fun unproductive day. And o ya a lot of people shaved their heads, that’s the biggest tradition that I tried to forget, but since I have been growing my hair since the 5th grade I was not about to let it go so easily.
