Personally I think I would take mountains, fog then water unless I knew for sure someone would pull be out the water within three hours (if I was only wearing a life jacket) - and most of the year I wouldnt make it that long I suspect.
Fuji, are you sure you'd rather mountains before sea? An IMC glide below MSA is very likely going to make you a CFIT statistic before you know it. Give me the sea anyday, as long it's not overcast down to the deck!

(Obviously if its VMC I'd rather take dry land, depending on exact terrain)
