I was going to ask how far that was. Jeez.
Now I can ask how long did that take? *Googling says average jetski is 90 km/h, so about 3.5 hours, but he's pulling 5 barrels.

crossed the Yellow Sea on a 1,800cc jet ski from Shandong province, using binoculars and a compass to navigate and towing five barrels of fuel.
I went in wondering how far a jetski could get you. Pretty impressive.

That’s the top speed lol. I rented a jet ski once, 130bhp and it could do 70kmh. At that speed it’s super tiring lol
29 0 ReplyAt 60kph which a 1.8 litre jetski should be able to handle fine, that's 5 hours minimum. Considering he would have had to stop for gas and stretch his legs, add a few hours extra.

I wonder how long it would take to cross larger bodies of water, and how many barrels you'd need to tow.
