In emergency stay in boat
In any unexpected situation (engine failure, boat damage, etc.), never leave the boat, if it is still afloat. Even if you believe that the shore
is just nearby, stay in the boat, since you will be looked for in this particular place and, most probably, will be found. Should the boat become
partially flooded, throw heavy objects (batteries, fuel tank, engine) overboard to ensure additional floatability.
