Narrative:
Landed at rst on runway 13 uneventfully, in moderate rain and windy conditions (080 degrees at 25 KTS gusting to 32 KTS). Turned left off runway onto high speed taxiway and reached up to turn off windshield wipers. Then turned left off high speed onto parallel taxiway (approximately 150 degrees of turn). The left main gear slid off pavement and sunk about 5 inches into soft grass about 3 ft to the left of pavement. We shut down engines and deplaned passenger out of back airstairs.
