Lucky it was today and not a couple of days ago. The water off the end of 14 at Brampton looks scary in 25 knots even in an ampib caravan - definitely not fun to go swimming in. Today would have been just about ideal ditching conditions - between 10 and 15 knots south easterly giving reasonably flat water with enough surface texture to give good height perception above the water.
