I'd probably make some sort of muttering noises.
I might look around, maybe for an alien... 'er, make that extra terrestrial craft.

First thing I'd do is check my "Man Overboard" switch (or whatever you call that kill switch at the helm).
I probably yanked on the lanyard and pulled the clip from the switch so, I'd check that first.
