Guy Breaks Quarantine, Uses Jet Ski To Cross Irish Sea To Visit His Girlfriend - The Crazy Details
Scotsman Dale McLaughlan, 28, deserves a medal and a beer from all the ladies around the world, something to show appreciation for what he accomplished. On Friday, he used a jet ski to cross 25 miles of open Irish Sea waters to visit his girlfriend Jessica Radcliffe.
This is one of those stories will turn into the great British dramas of our time. This is definitely an Academy Award-winning storyline. Titanic took home 11 Oscars in 1998. The story of Dale McLaughlan pulling off this journey has to be in the running for at least 10. It has it all! The romance. The drama. The action. The climax. The steamy quarantine sex. The police. EVERYTHING!
Let's put this into perspective for you guys. Here are the bullet points of this story:
• 25-mile jet ski ride in waters that average about 52 degrees
• Took five hours at sea due to bad weather
• He can't swim
• 15-mile walk
Dale's approximate jet ski route across the Irish Sea
• He'll miss Christmas with his family because he's been sent to COVID jail
• Dale met Jessica in September and made their relationship Facebook official in October
• He bought the jet ski just for the quarantine escape
• Had just minutes of fuel remaining as he landed his vessel on the Isle of Man
The Daily Mail reports Dale and Jessica went out drinking Saturday night and into the early morning hours Sunday. By Sunday night, the COVID cops had busted Dale, and now the lovebird is in jail. The government officials say making an example out of Dale will prevent others who might otherwise think of taking such drastic measures.
Uh, let's think about how absurd that sounds. There are very few sane people who think of taking a jet ski across the Irish Sea like Dale did. The government should be talking less prevention and more celebration here. This is what men, at least Dale, are willing to do to see their girlfriends during the pandemic. This is healthy, minus the major risk of drowning at sea part.
In 2020, the government wants to crush romance. William Shakespeare would've turned this into a great literary work that would be taught in schools forever.
‘To jet ski, or not to jet ski: that is the question.’
