Narrative:
The pilot overflew the airport and entered a left downwind. He aborted his first landing attempt because his airspeed was too high. During the second attempt, he landed hard, the airplane bounced, and the pilot added power. A gust of wind pushed the airplane to the left, and the pilot added full power to go around. The airplane continued to the left, the left wing contacted sawgrass and the airplane spun around. The airplane came to a full stop, upright, facing the opposite direction of travel.

Probable Cause: The pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing, and his inadequate compensation for wind. A factor was a wind gust.
