It is easy to forget that we are on an island because the capital city of Male is one of the most crowded places on earth. We can go all day without really seeing the water. So every now and then our training team takes the ferry to the airport island to have dinner. While we were eating, a huge storm blew in and the ferry traffic between the islands was stopped for a while. We were standing in the rain when we saw a boat getting ready to leave the dock and jumped on. 
It was the shuttle boat for the immigration workers at the airport! They were really nice and allowed us to hitch a ride. Otherwise, we might have been stranded at the airport. I hope they won't get in trouble for their kindness.
