DURING ARRIVAL, THE PILOT RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM A DEPARTING AIRCRAFT THAT THERE WAS A 10 TO 15 KT CROSSWIND FAVORING RUNWAY 23. HE WENT AROUND ON HIS FIRST APPROACH WHEN THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOO HIGH. ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT TO LAND, THE AIRCRAFT WAS FLOATING, SO THE PILOT WENT AROUND AGAIN. REPORTEDLY ON THE THIRD APPROACH, THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ABOUT 400 FT DOWN THE 2400 FT RUNWAY, BUT THE PLANE VEERED TO THE LEFT WHEN THE PILOT "HIT" THE BRAKES. HE EASED UP ON THE LEFT BRAKE SO THAT HE COULD STAY ON THE RUNWAY. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE PLANE RAN OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY, ENCOUNTERED UNEVEN TERRAIN, AND CAME TO REST PARTIALLY SUBMERGED IN SALT WATER.
