It could be the worst first date in history. What started out as a nice time with sushi and jet skiing turned into quite an ordeal.

Jessica Lucarini, 26, and Michael Eckhoff, 28, were on their first date when their jet ski broke down on an isolated stretch of the Myakka River in southwest Florida.

The couple waded through waist-deep water for three hours before they found a damp patch of sand to sit on. They shared water and built a small fire until a sheriff's helicopter spotted them about 1 a.m.

There was some good news though, the couple said they clicked through the ordeal. Lucarini called the experience like "the show Survivor" and said there would be a second date.
