Journal notes:

  • Eric's elephant story
  • I help the captain take some files off the navigation computer
  • The captain sets up my email account on the ship
  • We pass the equator
  • We celebrate Eric's and my first crossing of the equator at sea
  • This entry has some explicit language in it.  If you wish to read it, but without the swearing, you have some options, depending on your browser:
    • For Google Chrome, you can install the F Off! plugin.  I recommend this if you are trying to keep your children from being exposed to naughty words.
    • For Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera, you can install F-Stop.  Note that when hovering the mouse over censored language, the original profanity will appear when using this plugin.
    • For Internet Explorer, please download and install one of the other browsers and plugins.
  • This entry also has some "sailors' stories," which some may find inappropriate.  I have included them in the interest of providing an accurate depiction of life at sea.

Turns out, the equator really is a big black line across the ocean.  Who knew?
