Part 4/7:
The daily life of a bridge tender is anything but mundane. The tender shares stories about some of the unexpected events that occur, such as when a group of children, excited and playful, jumps off a boat—one of them landing awkwardly and getting hurt. Such incidents remind the tender that each day is unpredictable, with each opening of the bridge bringing forth new narratives and experiences. This unpredictability is a core part of the experience, enriching their life with a mix of excitement and challenges.
