Crossing the lines

Hebrew translation: טקס חציית הקו

Fisheries / marine lingo
English term or phrase: Crossing the lines
A name of an episode in Discovery Channel programme: Deadliest Catch - דיג קטלני

Thes episode's synopsis:
After a blown engine forces them back to port, the Northwestern returns to the fishing grounds, already a week behind. Captain Sig comes up with a plan to get back on schedule.

And here's what I found in Answers.com about this term:

"An allegorical ceremony performed aboard ship whenever the ship crosses a navigational line such as the equator or into another ocean. Very colorful and usually involves an initiation of those who have never crossed the line before."

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Explanation:
שלום זהבית, אם אני מבין נכון את ההקשר, הקפטן הזה מחליט לעבור על החוק ולדוג באזור אסור לדייג, כדי להתגבר על הפיגור שנגרם עקב תקלה במנוע. לכן, לא מדובר בטקסי ים עתיקי יומין אלא פשוט בעבירה על חוקי הדייג.
