Jet Ski on Connecting the Harris Chain of Lakes; Enough GAS? Yamaha WaveRunner FX

Описание: I am a "young" retired guy who bought a 2020 Yamaha FX Cruiser HO Waverunner and I head out on weekly adventures to explore rivers, lakes, and off shore areas on jetski in Florida. My goal is to build my jetski adventure experience and knowledge base to attempt a large scale adventure around Florida in 2021.

In this adventure I was looking to start upping the ante, in time and mileage, but also close to home. I chose the Harris Chain of Lakes in central Florida in the Leesburg area.

The Harris Chain of Lakes in Lake and Orange Counties is comprised of 8 primary lakes (Apopka, Harris, Griffin, Eustis, Dora, Beauclair, Carlton, and Yale) totaling about 75,000 acres. Lake Yale is no longer connected to Lake Griffin by a navigable waterway. Lake Apopka is connected to Lake Beauclair via the Apopka Beauclair Canal which is a 7.0 mile stream. It is better done in a kayak with the over growth but I plan to go back and explore to see if the Wave runner could make it without damage.

So today I focused on the 6 connected by a readily available navigable waterway... Lakes GRIFFN, EUSTIS, DORA, BEAUCLAIR, CARLTON, and HARRIS. The adventure spanned 59 miles in a tad over 4 hours! I launched from Lake GRIFFIN STATE PARK.
