Total cost for foley production: $90.97 (eggs and egged DR-CX1 Condenser mic)
Totally worth it.

The crosswalks in Puerto Vallarta are a solid 40 years ahead of anything we have in the US. Nothing instills a sense of panic like watching that little man go when you’re down to your last three seconds.
In the US, the conversation would have gone like this:
me: Hay, skipper. Can I climb the rigging and get a shot?
skipper: inhales loudly through teeth I don’t know about that. Maybe if you wait unitl we’re docked and I have you sign some papers. Also, we’ll have to grab the safety harness and somebody to belay. Maybe you should just try holding the camera over your head.
This is how it happened in Mexico:
me: Hay, skipper. Can I climb the rigging and get a shot?
skipper: when you fall off and wreck your face, is it my fault?
me: lol, no
skipper: have fun. See if you can get to the crow’s nest.
I think I like it better there.
