CFIT while in a turn at 40 kts with water during an attempt to rendezvous with a vessel offshore for a marine pilot transfer on a foggy night. The vessel, thinking the aircraft was making a go-around and abandoning the transfer had turned off the helideck lighting shortly prior to the impact. The vessel was not aware the aircraft had hit the sea. The aircraft capsized immediately. The 5 (or some reports say 4) POB were picked up an hour later by a passing vessel.
