In a few minutes it will be up on deck to watch the ceremony for crossing the Arctic Circle. We crossed early this morning. King Neptune oversees it - the participants get ice water poured down the back of the neck. It is voluntary, by the way! I did it on my very first trip. It's probably easier in summer than it is in winter, though it's comparatively mild out this morning. At least the Sun is shining. (On one trip the ice cubes were still on deck when we went out aurora-hunting that night.)
