The fuel ran out 70 clicks out from land.
I checked my height. 30000 feet up, give or take. The average rule of thumb was you could glide 1 or 2 kilometres for every drop of 1000 feet. So double 30...
Not great.
I had a choice, in fact I had several, but most revolved around which basic approach to take.
I could hope for decent winds, hit the water a few clicks away, and wait for people to turn up.
Or I could lighten the load.
"Ok, so, we're gonna have to jump for it, you guys go first!"
