Good to know you are recovering....shows wearing a life jacket can come in handy!
Some details that appeared in "Kathryn's Report" that may interest you....the Air Ambulance was contacted, but "stormy weather prevented them from responding"..... so weather conditions may have contributed to your accident.
Also in same report, chap named Dylan McKee jumped in his boat and helped with the rescue.
The float plane declined to keep floating, and will have to be recovered from underwater.
A glider pilot friend of mine splashed down at dusk in December in a reservoir near Talgarth in Wales...he told us next day when we went to recover the glider that he had chosen to land on the shallow end of the lake, he unfastened his parachute, but was still strapped in when the glider sank near the shore! he got out and had to wade through snow to find help from a nearby farmhouse, soaking wet. When we went to recover the glider next day, it was floating again, but limp. After a year it was rebuilt and now still flying in Wales.
Good news that you are recovering. My friend Colin Hales who is trying to fly his plane around the world, crashed on a golf course in Japan, is presently in a japanese hospital, his plane is in bits. The worst thing about a crash is the embarassment....even Alcock and Brown managed to bend their aircraft on touching down in Ireland.
