FWIW
I remember reading that over 1/2 of male drowing victims had blood in their
alcohol and their fly unzipped.
Falling in while underway:
I have heard that some long distance solo sailors throw a floating line
overboard. Knotted every 2 feet, big enough knots so your feet can use them as
a support when climbing back towards the boat (maybe an oyster knot). The rope
is several hundred feet long and ends in a fender, Remember that at 6 kn, you
are traveling about 10 feet every second. After falling overboard, you have
about 15 seconds to swim to the rope! At 12 kn the boat will hopefully broach
without someone at the helm, because it will be 200 feet away at 10 seconds
