Mail jumping

Mail jumping is a type of mail delivery where the postal carrier (known as a mail jumper) arrives by boat, jumps onto a dock, places incoming mail in a mailbox, retrieves outgoing mail, and jumps back onto the boat. The boat continues to move at a slow and steady pace (about 5 miles per hour (8 km/h)) while the mail jumper is jumping.
