Crossing the Equator Pollywog to Shellback -a shipwide celebration happens each time the ship crosses. This was my first time to cross from a ship. We were to kiss the fish and jump in the water but I have a fever so opted to kiss the fish tail and not jump in the water🧜🏻‍♀️. They baptized me with sea water over the head🤣 | Kelly Smith
