Boat taxi to nowhere

From the bank I walked down to the boat jetty by following the lagoon. Told the non English speaking attendant that I wanted a ticket to Cocody. He sold one to me for XOF 150. No boat in sight, I hope I don't have to wait long.

As I was recording the arriving boat the captain said I shouldn't and one of the workers who had seen me videoing before and never said anything found his voice. I just smiled and him and told him I don't under stand french so he switched to cut and join English asking me to delete the recordings. I just continued smiling at him and telling him I am a tourist and I make recordings every where I have been to while refusing to delete my clips. Eventually I wore him out and he allowed me to board the boat.
