What should you do if you fall into cold water in a small boat?

  1. Immediately try to get back into the boat

  2. Stay with the boat and signal for help

  3. Swim to shore if you are close

  4. Attempt to dry your clothes while in the water

The correct answer is: Stay with the boat and signal for help

If you were to fall into cold water while in a small boat, the best course of action is to stay with the boat and signal for help. This is the correct answer because staying with the boat provides you with a stable platform to hold onto and increases your visibility to potential rescuers. Swimming to shore may not be a good idea as cold water can quickly drain your energy and increase the risk of hypothermia. Attempting to dry your clothes while in the water is not feasible and would not improve your situation. It's important to prioritize safety and wait for assistance by staying with the boat and signaling for help.
