But to cut the boredom, we traveled through Singapore and crossed the Equator... then proceeding to celebrate the famous Crossing the Line ceremony where the veteran "shellbacks" are permitted to freely harass and humiliate the "pollywogs", sailors who had never crossed the Equator before. Lots of fun... (but to be explained at another time).
Probably "NSFW" caution sign would be needed. 😎🐐

Yes, a good caution, sunkenciv.

Google AI explains the Crossing the Line ceremony much better than I could.  There are rules to the hazing and sailors can opt out.
