Isnt it 70 miles one way and thats on a straight shot?! Open ocean, 70 miles on a jetski????????!!!!!!!!!! Im going to have to throw the BULL$H!T FLAG on this one, 10 yards from the start of the fowl, replay first down. Joe you're absolutely nuts!!! and then the BIG LAWLIGATOR is after a hip replacement, lolololololol kidding me?! Your ego is writing checks your body cant cash!
Mex Joe....I had intended on making the trip to San Felipe a few years ago...just concerned about the availability of fuel right in the harbor. My jetski (3 seater SeaDoo GTX-SC) carries 15.9 gal. of gas....and I can easily do 80-90 miles with a reserve if I don't push it...somewhere around 30-35mph. I can easily strap on another 5 gal. of fuel. I've ridden out to Catalina Island from Long Beach....and that is open ocean.....about 30 mi.....took about an hour......the most dangerous part was avoiding the high speed ferry that was heading out!!! I've run in a couple 300 mile team endurance races at Havasu (held yearly in Feb).....and if you've been out there after the crazies come out with their big boats, and the ferry starts crossing to the res for gambling....the water there gets pretty brutal......
So...I'm getting a hip replacement in a couple months...if the doc gives me the ok...I will be back riding.....maybe I'll make the ride over...maybe I won't.
Before you yell more BS....these 2 pics are from the last 300 mile race I ran...the first pic(in the full wetsuit) was my teammate, Eric....I'm in the shorty wetsuit. A couple of years of temporary insanity racing at age 55!!!! That was a Seadoo RXP....2 seater, somewhere around 900 lb., 1500 cc 4 stroke, supercharged/intercooled...3 cylinder Rotax putting out 215 hp.....running between 65-70 mph (gps'd)...... I don't have that one anymore.
