Jetskiers!!

Those pesky jetskiers get in everywhere.
Do the following to see how ....


1. Go to Google Maps. 2. Write Japan as your start point. 3. Write China as your destination. 4. Go to 43rd point on your route, When you stop laughing work out how they did it!!

My only guess at how they found it was they were trying to get from Japan to China, probably a back-packer.

If you do Japan to America, it tells you to kayak across the Pacific!

These Japanees fellows are very fit
