I had a tow a few years back. Two people on the rocks on jet skis on Stonedam. They didn't know where they were. They didn't know wher they came from. They were Japanese and didn't speak english.
They did earn their temporary license from a local dealer!

You have to work mighty hard to hit rocks with a PWC.
Then again you did say they were Japanese. Perhaps Bizer has an opportunity here ... multi-lingual charts. Obviously one in Japanese is needed and Spanish goes w/o saying these days but I wonder if we need a German chart (they'd probably buy one anyway) or a French chart (Sarkozy aside) ? A Chinese chart is probably a good idea and thinking towards the future. A lake chart in Arabic is likely not needed these days and might attract unwanted attention from the DHS. Lastly I figure if the Portuguese can mistake America for India they need a chart ! You know right after I finish my GPS for Old SciFi Geeks I might speak to Bizer 'bout this.
The SciFi GPS .... it's a miniature of the Lost in Space robot. When you're headed for the rock it lights up and flails it's arms about whilst squawking "Danger, danger ....." Betcha your Japanese tourists would have bought one !
