Abandon Ship

I went on a trip to Camiguin Island which required us to take a ferry from Cagayan de Oro. Once on the ferry, a group of enterprising kids took turns jumping off the boat and then asking for money to be thrown to them. At the pier it was nice to watch and as the ferry pulled away, a few of the kids stayed on board to pull their last dive away from the pier.

This one kid clambered on the roof and stayed there for the longest time. One, the ferry was now going full steam, we must have been more than 100 meters away from the pier and two, the ferry must have been 3-4 storeys high. He was obviously holding out for more money but there was no way I was going to reach into my pocket and let got of the shutter. . . . . he eventually jumped. Look how far away from the pier this guy is.

Don't worry, he made it back.
