## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

AFTER OVER FLYING HIS LANDING SITE THE PILOT TOUCHED DOWN, WENT THROUGH THE "ON STEP" PHASE AND AS THE AIRCRAFT WAS FALLING OFF OF THE "STEP" VEERED HARD RIGHT. THE PILOT RECOVERED WITH FULL POWER AND LEFT RUDDER. THE PILOT, THE SOLE OCCUPANT RECEIVED NO INJURIES HOWEVER, THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING, AILERON, AND THE ATTACHPOINT OF THE LEFT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER. THE PILOT LOWERED THE WHEELS AND TAXIED UP ON THE BEACH TO INSPECT THE FLOATS. HE SAID THEY WAS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE. HE THEN TAXIED OFF THE BEACH INTO THE WATER AND TIED THE AIRCRAFT UP TO A DOCK. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR HE PUMPED THE FLOATS AND THERE WASN'T ANY LEAKAGE. I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THE FLOAT MAY HAVE COLLIDED WITH A SEA MAMMAL OR CRAB POT ROPE.
