Southern Oregon - various
While flying the coast yesterday, one of our group of three pilots suffered an engine-out and landed on a nice stretch of beach - which unfortunately happened to actually be a sand spit with no road access! Today he retrieved his trike by floating it across the channel using it's own balloon tires for bouyancy. The engine and propeller were removed for balance and are in the second raft. The wing was folded and rafted across after dark.
Attached are pics of the island and his makeshift flotilla.

Wow, glad all turned out well. Indeed, truly epic!
Wow! That's dedication right there. Very cool that the tires are THAT big. They're yuge!
give us a lat/long for the landing spot
That's amazing ingenuity! Great the pilot handled the situation.
Wow!
