90 miles to tomorrow

Masquerade should be crossing the international dateline later today, at which point it will become tomorrow. This will be a bit weird when communicating with people back in the US and Mexico, when we are a day off.

According to sailing tradition when a sailor crosses the equator they graduated from a Polywog to a Shellback. There is often a little ceremony to mark the occasion and a toast to Neptune. Is there an equivalent for crossing the dateline? Do we get a new title? Are we missing a ceremony? I guess we did not do our research before we left.

More lumpy seas that are are rolling us quite a bit. Our course is Dead Down Wind so that makes the rolling worse. We may have to sail a longer course so that the ride is more bearable. About 830 miles to go.
