Aloha everyone, we had a big day today, including a visitor. It was very pleasant all day. About 3pm, we crossed the equator and we were visited by King Neptunis rectumis Rex, the handsome devil! He had noted that a pollywog was amongst us and she needed to be properly inducted in order to enter his realm. We had a good time, including some head shaving and egg, and then an elixer blood and eyeballs of thine slain sea creatures (red juice, lychee and rum.) She is now a proper shellback with all the rights of such an esteemed club. We had pleasant celebration of the crossing, which included hamburgers, ice cream and a movie. The wind has picked up a bit, so we are moving fast but a bit rolly. Not much else to report aboard the good ship Ho'onanea, crew all doing well and looking forward to getting home to there loved ones. Aloha, David
