There's this ceremony when a ship crossing an equator. There's really good candid WAM.

Material is bad though. Most are guys , but some chicks. Then, camera angle really sucks. Here's some vids I found. Sorry for the dudes, but it's almost impossible to get all female vids of this ceremony.

Camera work is terrible. The chick on the right gets it real good, and then the camera pans away and doesn't come back until later, and then when it gets good, it pans away!!!!

Have you guys come across similar vids as well? If you've come across good WAM vids from this ceremony, please reply!!!

I really love the colorful slime they use in some of the vids. I would so go on a cruise, if I get the female crew to totally crash me.

That's the first time I hear about it, and it's awesome!

Another video, around 4:20

Thanks awesome find! I would really love to figure out what they use to make that bright blue/green goo!!!

Anyone fancies a WAM cruise? Looks so fun... hahaha lol.

When we were sailing, it was a stripped down racing yacht, so we had limited space for supplies and limited washing facilities... initiations consisted of smearing people with marmite (we had catering sized tubs of it) and pouring a bucket of salt water over their heads to clean them off.

Never heard of this either. Would love to go on this cruise for this reason!

Warning: That thumbnail pic is NOT indicative of who actually gets messy.

In the U.S. Navy they do the same thing when a ship crosses the equator....it's called a Shellback ceremony and anyone who has never done it is invited to participate....rank does not matter in this so the captain of the ship can go through it like the enlisted and gets the same equal treatment...there's another one when a ship crosses the arctic circle...they have the participants strip down to their underwear and then go out on the weatherdecks and spray them with the fire hoses...so kicking myself I never got to do either...

Great pics of this, especially from the cruise ship angle

There was an episode of "NCIS" back in February called "Crossing The Line".

A Shellback ceremony was interrupted when one of the participants saw a dead crewman
floating in the water overboard.

You can notice the "slime" on the male crewman shouting "Man Overboard" and then
you can see the small kiddie pool filled with "slime".

I didn't bother acknowledging this episode back in February because it was all male WAM.

This goes back a very long time at sea, When I first "crossed the line" was in 1999 when I was an engineer officer with Maersk. I had heard about it and the stories did include a lot of mess. Nothing ever happened to me for various reasons. When we crossed the line I was on watch which was about 2.00am. For such a large container ship we only had 16 crew so at any point in the day we never had the free crew to do a ceremony anyway, even if we wanted and due to work loads any time spent off ....you went straight to bed. Was not a major issue for me as at the time wet and messy did not do anything for me, I was a late starter!!
