    Cessna 185 · Redgut Bay · A78C0908

    The pilot reported that he inadvertently landed downwind and the aircraft floated a long way before it touched down. Confronted with a tree covered shoreline he chose to steer into a derelict houseboat hull rather than attempt an overshoot. The floats were ruptured and the aircraft sank.
