…when along came My Hero. He took my arm in that perfect stabilization grip and down we went without mishap but to much hilarity, soaked, teetery, and splashing along as we were.
They were from Guadalajara, he here on business and she clearly a new sweetheart coming along for the ride (they were making out like teenagers on the way over!). We chatted off and on throughout the more than one hour journey of getting down the steps, finding the right boat, waiting for the boat to fill up, and then riding back to the mainland. Gracias amigos!
