If I'm reading this correctly: 26°  22.37' N , 080° 07.95' W, that puts you in Boca Raton, according to Google Earth.

According to Street Atlas 7, you are on the south side of the 2500-2699 block of Timber Creek Circle NW in Boca Raton.

I'm afraid I can't tell you which tree you're sitting under. Sorry.

Yes, you are correct, Boca Raton, FL.  I thought I loaded a different image. As an old Sergeant of mine would say, "that's were the problem is, you were thinking"

That's just sadistic! How are your people going to find it, not to mention retrieve it?

That's the plan!  If I have a pilot bleeding out in a waterborne cockpit, I'm not waiting twenty minutes for water rescue to show up.  Practice like you play, train as you'll perform  >:D

The beacon wouldn't be any more than a foot or two under water, and I'd quietly stow a life jacket in the vehicle for the lucky coastie-to-be (I don't intend to have any drownings, that quarry's seen enough of them).
