Do you know what to do if someone falls off a small boat? First, you should throw
out a life ring to the person in the water so he or she does not drown. Then you should
try to turn back and get closer with the boat, trying not to lose sight of the person in
the water. When you get close to the person, you should help him or her climb back
into the boat. This is not always easy, especially if
a. the weather is warm.
b. the person is hurt or cold.
c. you do not know how to swim.
d. the person is a good swimmer
