Did it few time by plane but it was my first time doing it by sailing in d'sea =)
so,king neptune who lives in d'bottom of d;sea will give me a punishment due to d'illegal entry or as a non-certificate holder to cross d'eaquator.
wth?? they've mentioned it in history bout few years ago.....
The ceremony of crossing the line is an initiation rite in the Royal Navy, U.S. Navy, and other navies which commemorates a sailor's first crossing of the equator. Originally the tradition was created as a test for seasoned sailors to ensure their new shipmates were capable of handling long rough times at sea. Sailors who have already crossed the equator are nicknamed (Trusty) Shellbacks, often referred to as Sons of Neptune; those who have not are nicknamed (Slimy) Pollywogs.
=note it =)=
"King Neptune and his court" (usually including his first assistant Davy Jones and her Highness Amphitrite and often various dignitaries, who are all represented by the highest ranking seamen) officiate at the ceremony, during which the Pollywogs undergo a number of increasingly disgusting ordeals (wearing clothing inside out and backwards; crawling on hands and knees on nonskid-coated decks; being swatted with short lengths of firehose; being locked in stocks and pillories and pelted with mushy fruit; crawling through chutes and large tubs of rotting garbage; kissing the Royal Baby's belly coated with axle grease, hair chopping, etc), largely for the entertainment of the Shellbacks.
Once the ceremony is complete, a Pollywog receives a certificate declaring his new status. Another common status is the Golden shellback, a person who has crossed the equator at the 180th meridian (international date line).
this is what they call a naval tradition.....so for me,King Neptune asked me to drink a juice (i dunno what it is,luckily he didnt mention bout giving myjuice to him--ngeeee-scaryyy) and then he gave me d'cert.whoaaaa....
