What people will do for love!
The Isle of Man in the Irish Sea between Ireland and the UK is run as its own country although somewhat tied to the UK.
They have a complete lock-down to control coronavirus - No one can enter or leave the island.
This guy from Scotland who has never been on a jet-ski buys a jet ski on Thursday to cruise over to visit his girlfriend who
is stranded on the island where she lives.. The trip which should take 40 minutes takes 2 1/2 hours due to the usual rough seas !
He arrives and then walks 15 miles to the girls house.
After a glorious weekend with the girl the authorities arrest him on Monday and put him in jail for 4 weeks.
