Indian Ocean misadventure.

On business in Sri Lanka, I've got the company private plane to myself for the weekend, so I'm heading down to Mauritius to see some old friends.

Weather's fine and we're off...

Goodbye land, there's a lot of water ahead...

Hours later - the weather's worsening...

Really don't like the look of this...

Uh oh - we're in trouble "Mayday, mayday, mayday - this is....

Electrics out and no engines, going down fast...

Just about managing to hold her straight...

This is going to be very wet...
http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...654350929b.jpg
Need to get out of here fast before she goes down...

Very much later, at least the storm has cleared...

http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...b4439471eb.jpg
At least I'm still alive...

This looks edible...
http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...1d43f90ccd.jpg
Tough to break open...
http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...4b4463e886.jpg
Ahhh - that's better..
http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...6344766787.jpg
This is the best shade I can find...
http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...824497480c.jpg
It will have to be home until I can figure out how to get out of here...
http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...d644e407e1.jpg
Another time, beaches like these would be paradise...

My signal must have got through - here comes the cavalry. Yippee

Thanks for the comments guys.
Quite a time frame between the pix here - the flight was this evening, the castaway pix c1974 Addu Attol Indian Ocean and the Seaking was about three years ago when I was half way up a cliff near Dover. (No - they weren't out to rescue me, just coincidence they were training around there).
