Today we were told that we were going to have visitors on board, Neptune the Great. After lunch we had to meet up on the well deck to wait for our guest. When he arrived with his very attractive daughter Connor, Simon, also known as Neptune held a very emotional speech about our Atlantic´s forbidden entering. After that we were called in front of Neptune and Connor name by name, had to kneel down and then we had some old Curry- Mix poured over our heads. It went everywhere: Our hair, Face and all over our clothes and bare skin. As if that had not been enough we had to drink a Tabasco- Coffee- drink.

I personally felt like throwing up when I smelt it and when I drank it. All of us got a fish name, which were called out loudly during our Christening. And after that we were allowed to flood the deck with the hydrants and the water hoses. Everyone was holding their heads under the water, trying to get all the rice and sauce out of our their hair. But our clothes still smell and have some weirdly- colored spots on them, but we are confident that they will wash out! 😉 But after all it was a fun and interesting day!
