Romantic First Date Turns Into ‘Survivor’

I read lots of news feeds. 🙂

RedOrbit – Oddities – Romantic First Date Turns Into 'Survivor':

BRADENTON, Fla. – A romantic first date of sushi and jet skiing turned into a rough lesson in survival on an isolated stretch of river.

"It was like 'Survivor,'" said Jessica Lucarini, 26, who was on her first date with 28-year-old Michael Eckhoff Tuesday when things went awry.

Their jet ski broke down about 6 p.m., stranding them in mangroves on the bank of the Myakka River in southwest Florida. The couple stumbled over branches in waist deep water for three hours until they found a damp patch of sand. They made a small fire and shared sips of water until a sheriff's helicopter spotted them at about 1 a.m.

The couple said they clicked during their ordeal.

"There will be a second date," Lucarini told The Herald in Bradenton.

Nice!

    That's awesome! What a neat little story. I'm just imagining the "how I met your mother" stories that their kids would hear.

    Wow! That's quite a first date. I think they will be forever bonded after that experience.
