One point...staying with the boat does not necessarily mean till it goes down if there are better options.
That saying which I will bet has been altered enough by hack instructors really means, stay in the immediate area of the boat first and foremost. It is more likely to be seen in many cases, it might be what others are reporting as the incident scene and the search starts there, and ultimately it may be the best lifeboat/life support system you have.
Survival can be a complex situation broken down into bite sized pieces. Each one isn't the right answer, but the combination and proper order of those pieces are what help you survive.
