Yesterday a few friends and I took a trip on a new "fast ferry". To introduce the new service to the public, the ferry was free for the month of July. We made the first half of the trip without incident and had lots of fun. But unfortunately when we were ready to return, we learned that the ferry had mechanical problems and would no longer be running that day.

This meant that we had to find an alternative way home. Fortunately there was another ferry we could take, but there was a charge for it. I spoke to a mother and her three children who were frantic because they did not have the money for the ferry and thus felt stranded. My friends and I gladly paid the fare for this family and bought them a treat on board.
