Overboard Person Recovery

The easy way to recover a person in the water (PIW) into the dory.  The main points are:
Use the side away from the driving controls
Turn off the engine!
The weight of the driver, assistant and PIW all on the same side reduces the freeboard, making recovery much easier
The PIW reaches into the dory with arm and hooks his heel over the gunwale
The driver and assistant help roll the PIW up into the dory
