CROSSING THE LINE shortly before midnight on 22 September, a strange voice came over the 1-MC warning Captain and crew that we had crossed the line into the world of Davey Jones, Shellbacks and King Neptune himself. That night bands of crazed men walked — or rather wogged — the ship. Early the next morning Davey Jones ' men swarmed aboard, rounded up wogs from bridge to barnicle, and assembled them for a fitting seafood breakfast. Then came the ritual cleansing and purification required before wogs can be allowed into King Neptune ' s realm. When this was over, the men of Davey Jones joined the men of Cimarron in a flight deck barbecue celebration of shellback com- radeship. lUJ (SIV) K(

AUSTRALIA Australia! A land of rolling farm country, vast sheep stations, tall hardwood forests and snow-covered mountains. A land of tropical beaches, golden wheat fields and wandering rivers. We dunebuggied her enormous sand dunes, petted her wallabies and kanga- roos, visited her oldest settlements and admired the colonial architecture, sam- pled her wines and beers and above all enjoyed her hospitality. We brought back sheepskins, uggboots, koala teddy bears, slouch hats, boomer- angs, shining opals and shining memories. Some of us even went to the Royal Perth Yacht Club to have a look at the America Cup. None of us needed to ask why people come to Australia. And all of us would be happy to visit again. Osl Ml ()R
