At sea en route from Honolulu to Fiji:  Lunar eclipse viewed on September 3;  the ship crosses the equator near the International Date Line September 5 and the Date Line September 8.  They skip September 9 and go on immediately to September 10. This has both physical and spiritual repercussions. The passengers and ship's officers play Horse Billiards (Shuffleboard or Shovel Board).  The ship's crew has fun at the passengers expense with deck washing and surface painting.
