in the waters off Northern California is a self-professed thrill-seeker whose stunts have sometimes gotten him in trouble with authorities.

Lesh said he recently bought the plane for more than $200,000 and spent about $40,000 for upgrades, taking out a loan to pay for the aircraft. That same year, the Colorado Division of Wildlife ticketed Lesh for harassment of wildlife after reports that he was chasing a moose — in a car and on foot — while trying to take a video, San Francisco Bay Area television station KTVU reported.

Lesh said his plane"skipped along the water" for a few hundred feet without much of an impact. He and his passenger grabbed window shades and seat cushions to help them float in the chilly water teeming with jellyfish as whales breached the surface nearby.
