Arctic Crossing
On the fourth day we
crossed the Arctic Circle (approximately 66.5 degrees, north latitude). For this occasion, King Neptune appeared and
baptized all willing passenger with a ladle full of ice water down your back.
Pat and I were both baptized. On the return crossing there was a different ceremony.
You drank a tablespoon of cod liver oil followed by a brandy chaser. Then you
receive a souvenir spoon commemorating the Arctic Crossing.
