I love the avatar as well. 

I hate to ask for a second so quickly but this one is more for fun to do at your leisure. It's a big deal when a sailor crosses the equator onboard a ship. It isn't as common as it sounds. A sailor that has crossed the line, after a ceremony, is called a shellback.  I've added a photo of my Ship's crest, my rating badge and just a picture of something that showed the shellback status. if you could come up with a way to organize my random ideas and or suggestions into something wildly cool and amazing I would be forever in your debt.
