Love hurts.
The story of a Scottish man who traveled by jet ski across the Irish Sea to visit his girlfriend on the Isle of Man, which was closed to non-residents due to the coronavirus pandemic, does not end as he had hoped. After being arrested, sent to jail and removed from the country, he revealed how dangerous his journey actually was.

The day of Dale McLaughlan’s jet ski outing, the forecast called for calm waters, reports The Sun. Instead, he encountered 6-foot-high waves and heavy fog and was quickly lost. Reportedly, a journey took 45 minutes, and it took four and a half hours.
McLaughlan, who had never ridden a jet before, told The Mirror: ‘As soon as I hit open water, I thought’ Oh my God. “It was like getting a kick in the teeth. It was awful. It was not nice. ‘

Worse, he says, a wave washed away his GPS, leaving him lost in the middle of the ocean. “I have no idea where I would go,” he explained.
He reportedly reached the Isle of Man with only a few minutes of fuel left.
Howard Quayle, prime minister of the Isle of Man, calls McLaughlan’s actions ” an incredibly reckless, dangerous attempt, which could have ended quite differently given the time of year. ‘

McLaughlan was apparently released from prison early and sent back to Scotland.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Isle of Man has been closed to non-residents since March. At the time of McLaughlan’s stunt, the island had only four active cases of coronavirus.
