Yes You Can Jet Ski From Wisconsin To Michigan

Be honest, did you even know this was a possibility?

I've heard about teens crossing Lake Michigan via paddle board to raise money for charity. Heck, there's even a story about a fellow who crossed the Great Lake in a bathtub in 1969! However, I never even considered making the trek from Wisconsin to Michigan by jet ski-- until now.

I was just doing my typical Tiktok doomscrolling session when a wild video came across my feed. Tiktok user @taracesarettirussell appeared to be at a local marina in Grand Haven, Michigan, when a group of jetskiers came riding up from Wisconsin. Asks Tara, "Can you tell me where you just came from?"

As someone unfamiliar with that "jet ski life" I can't help but wonder if this is a common occurrence?

Clearly, we have some questions. First of all, is that even a safe thing to do? I suppose as long as someone knows where you're heading and when to expect you, it is. Also, how long does the cross-lake trip take?

Again, this is probably something that happens more frequently than I realize, but it blew my mind! I wonder what these fellows did upon reaching the shores of Grand Haven?
