Jump

I wandered down to the wharf this morning to check on the fishermen and the water taxis. I thought that it would be fun to take one of these boats for a day trip. The amazing thing is that they don't actually dock! They gun the engines and get as close as they can to the wharf. Someone grabs hold of the boat and all the passengers JUMP on board. If you are young and agile, no problem. For the rest of us, it could mean sink or swim! The waves push the boat forward and the engine reverses it back into position. There was no time for hesitation! Along with zip-lining, this would be an adventure that we would decline. I walked home to put my feet up and enjoy a cup of tea.
