We will be crossing the Equator this evening, in just 30 minutes or so. Captain Krstanovic will blow the ship's horn at the exact moment. And tomorrow there will be no classes or meetings in the morning so that the entire ship can celebrate Neptune Day together - a ritual at sea that involves dead fish and shaving your head. More stories tomorrow! Bill and another faculty member have challenged the students to raise at least $350 for charity - if they do, Bill and John will shave their heads and Bill his beard. Word has it that the students have already raised over $400 so Bill's going hairless tomorrow. Will get pics up as soon as possible. I think I'm chickening out on the bald head....am nursing a sore throat and general achy body. Seems illnesses are starting to spread around the ship. I spent most of today in bed. Luckily, neither one of us have yet experienced motion sickness.
Wanted to say a belated congratulations to Adri and Monica - we wish we could have been there last weekend to celebrate your wedding. Congrats!!
Joe: I inquired - Mag will be boarding the ship in Cape Town. I'll be sure to tell him hello. Haven't met the Captain yet but will tell him hello as well. And do you and Joy remember a student, Libby O'Sullivan, from Fall '06? She actually just graduated from College 8 this past June as well. Both of her parents are on the faculty this voyage after hearing how much she enjoyed it two years ago.
Saying goodbye to the North Star for a while...

I can't wait to head the outcome, who has hair, who doesn't!?!?
It's wonderful reading your blogs and feeling so close to you when you're sop far away!
Miss You!
Love,
Nicole
Ooppps I said "head" rather than "hear"...it was a typo, but kind of makes sense since we are talking about hair haha
