On the night of August 5th, the entire crew became Royal Diamond Shellbacks. This means that we crossed both the equator and the prime meridian at the same time, at 0 degrees latitude and longitude. This is the rarest shellback status that any sailor can attain. The entire crew competed in "crossing the line" games as part of our initiation, and before being issued our certificates, we had to kiss a large fish as our final initiation into Royal Diamond Shellback status.
