I believe my "landing" into a river must have been pilot air. I was slowing cruising up a river over a beautiful swimming hole at approximately three feet above the water when for who knows why my MVP 2 informed me it was going to land and it did. It was in the crystal clear Scott River in far NW California for no more than 10 minutes. I dried it out in the sun and then the Hasselblad was left in rice for two days and everything seems perfectly normal. What took the most time was the lens clearing itself of the moisture.
I had gone into the forum and read many water stories so I do feel very fortunate. My question to everyone is why would the ship just decide to land? Fortunately I was only 50 yards from it when it went down but there had been times when it was either up river or down river over a 1000 feet. It is very rugged and I might not have been able to find it had it gone down when it was that far out.
