What should you do if your engine stops while you are trying to reach the shore during a storm?

If your engine stops while trying to reach shore during a storm, first remain calm and assess the situation. Try to restart the engine if possible, but if that fails, deploy any sails or use your oars if you have them to regain control. Use your radio or other communication devices to call for help, and ensure you're signaling your location clearly. Lastly, prepare for rough conditions by securing loose items and ensuring everyone on board is wearing a life jacket.
