It is easy to stay within shorelines on most trips.  You don't want to be in=
 the water for more than a few minutes so you either need a raft or suit if y=
ou expect survival equipment to be used. Unless you are wearing the suit it m=
ay not be useful.  In the lancair I hug the shoreline and in the TBM I go di=
rect across the water.  It would be useful to know the routes you are thinki=
ng of flying
