I know this one I think? You use a grey card.

Good question.
I'd try a spot meter reading from three different locations.
1. The sky, without the sun.
2. The water, well in front of the sun, including the reflection of the sun but not including the sun itself.
3. The water, not including the sun or its reflection.
I have a feeling that #2 would give the most workable exposure overall.

1. Put camera on Aperture Priority f8 or f11
2. Focus at hyperfocal distance
3. Zoom in on a spot that's close to Grey Card Grey
4. Hit the AE Lock button and hold it
5. Recompose and shoot.
Hope this helps.

I like Dr. Sam's answer. I would do that, but then take three different pictures using the three differnet meter readings and composite them together(either HDR or manual composite).

f16 and let the camera choose a shutter speed. Then 1 at -1 EV and 1 at +1 EV. Then I'll take the pick of the litter lol.

i'm still finding my way around metering, so i (the terrible little amateur that i am)(and my friends here think i am terrible for this) would use auto...
and you have been a great help in giving me some clues how grey card works.
