We stayed in Perth for a little over a week, and picked up something like 40 new crew.
When we passed back over, we had another ceremony, so nearly the entire crew, and all the people who were newly qualified shellbacks, got to beat on me for a few hours. No one knew the new guys so they left them alone.
Took me three hours and 4 complete circuits around the ship's deck to finally hit the pool. Man.. my palms and knees were in ribbons from crawling on non-skid. Had about 80 welts on my ass and thighs. Covered in grease, rotten food, and other assorted nastiness. I'll never look at a hot dog in the same way again.
It was worth every minute.
