- intertwine your legs
- place any children in the middle of the huddle
- keep unnecessary movements to a minimum in order to conserve energy
overboard rescue technique to recover a person overboard:
- make sure life ring is secured to boat with a line
- throw life ring so that it lands behind victim
- slowly pull line toward you so victim can grab onto it
- pull victim to side of boat and assist them back into boat

and safe to do so
- if appropriate to leave boat, swim to shore and seek assistance immediately
- passenger is lost or died
- personal injury requiring medical treatment beyond first aid
- boat is completely destroyed or lost
- property damage in excess of state threshold
- use channel 16 as an emergency channel only
