Just Rounded Cape of Good Hope

[BlowingOldBoots]

My first great cape.

It’s a tad windy, and very busy with ships everywhere. Entering the south Atlantic now and heading westwards to South America, then up to Louisiana.

This post is via Starlink, very fast, reliable and robust. Is there a tattoo for rounding a cape (-;

Not sure about a Cape of Good Hope tattoo, but you should be christened by Neptune when you cross the equator on your way to Louisiana
safe travels!

Tattoo for that Cape is an anchor restante on a field of argent mounted by a crossjockled matelot.
On the right forearm of course
Hope that helps

Thank you.
Apparently I am a Polywog and will become Shellbag in about 10 days. I may hide.

Does that not depend on how quickly you are travelling?
10 days seems ambitious for a tadpole....

A shellback tattoo. Still a bit to go, running just a tad northwards of 22 South, 7 west.

Tonight the names of the Polywogs were sent to the deep for King Neptune to review, after 3 long blasts (MOB alarm) of the ships horn; ear drums were tingling it was so loud.

so liquid now swirls clockwise around your plughole....

Arrived.
Waiting for health clearance.
7881 NM. A rather pleasant trip, a few bits of strong wind, some large waves, heavy rain, mostly sunny and warm.
