Just Keep Swimming
While in New Zealand, I went to a beach party with some girls I met at the hostel. To get to the party, we needed to take a $2 ferry to cross a kilometer-wide inlet. In an attempt to impress the ladies, I decided to swim it while they took the ferry. About halfway across, I realized that I was slowly getting pulled out to sea and that I was not in as good of shape as I had assumed. Turns out, a kilometer is much more difficult than you’d think. Amazingly, I made it to the other side a few minutes after the ferry docked. I casually walked over to meet the girls as if I hadn’t just nearly been swept out to sea. Good news: I made it and ended up hooking up with one of the ladies who witnessed my tomfoolery. Bad news: the ferry was $2 round trip, so I still ended up having to pay the full fare to return after the party.
