IMPERVIUM NEPTVNI REGIS

 
Let all sailors, wherever ye may be, and all mermaids, whales, serpents, porpoises, dolphins, eels, skates, crabs, lobsters and all other living things of the sea bear witness that the scurvy crew and degenerate Captain of the M/Y Oso Blanco have been ordered to appear before the Royal Court of the Realm of Neptune and be initiated in the mysteries of the Royal Domain.
 
If these polywogs fail to appear, they shall be fed to the creatures of the sea which they have so violated.  Charges against them include:
 
1. Brutally torturing Marly the Blue Marlin.
 
2. Disposing of "Pacifico alumino" in most disgusting manners.
 
3. Showing good spirits when bad attitude would be more appropriate. 
 
4. Flagrantly disregarding the esteemed position of the good and benevolent Captain of the M/Y Oso Blanco.
 
5.  Showing a lack of sophisticated sense of humor.
 
6. Hiding various ships stores under the guise of 'organizing the storage'.
 
7. Adherence to the principles of the "Strawberry Monkey Yacht Club" and other similar cult practices.
 
These and other charges are serious and the punishment may be sever.  As a lowly pollywog, these crew members have NO rights and all charges will be assumed to be true and valid.
 
The so mentioned crew and Captain of M/Y Oso Blanco are therefore ordered to appear before the Royal Court upon reaching the Equator.  Should any of them survive the administered punishment, they shall forever be recognized and respected by all sailors and landlubbers as honored Shellbacks.
