He made it 150km and was about 4km from Papua New Guinea, so he almost got away with it.

Or natives of Papua New Guinea come to think of it. The Australian Coast Guard might have given him his just deserts and prevented him from becoming just deserts.

Aye PNG isn't too far away really.

He also had spare fuel on board as a jetski tank can't get that far.

It's not as mad as it sounds.

A jet ski will do 40/50 mph and the distance was 90 miles, so 2/3 hours on a calm day would do it including refuels.

Obviously jet skis aren't cut out for open water but I bet they could out manoeuvre most patrol boats if he gets chased.

It’d be a piece of piss to escape to France then from Dover. A jet ski could easily outrun the merchant shipping.
