While a crew member is going below to press the MOB button on the GPS, I'd seriously consider telling them to also hit the Mayday button on the VHF DSC, if any of the following criteria are met: night-time, bad weather, casualty is a child / non-swimmer / injured. If the casualty is unconscious that's an immediate and obvious Mayday for me. | |

highlighted the key point - into wind so you can stop!
