What kind of navigation systems do jet skis come with?

I’m fairly sure that was a very very bad idea.

What is the range on one of those. Seems like 115 miles is pushing it.

He is 5 feet and 9 inches tall, weighs 190 pounds and has gray hair and green eyes, according to a description provided by the family.That should help search and rescue personnel tell him apart from others who may be bobbing around in the ocean.

Gasoline is lighter than water, so you could tow some float tanks. Not sure how common that is.

Plus, you are crossing the jet stream so you’ve got to point that thing at 5 o’clock just to go to 3 o’clock.

A Florida Man...immortalized, once again, by a news story chronicling his spectacularly stupid, and apparently fatal, exploits.
