puddle-jumping
Leaping over water
Puddle-jumping is traveling by small aircraft, especially making short hops between minor airports: We spent the week puddle-jumping across the Caribbean.
The image is of a plane skipping lightly from place to place like someone hopping over puddles.
The term can also refer literally to jumping over or through puddles, a childhood pastime.
