Here's just a few:
1) Poor fuel planning and continuing on with low fuel from Michigan side.

If he had pants on, he had floatation gear. Get someone to show you how to knot
the legs, then inflate the pants by swinging it over your head from above and
behind you to in front of you in one swift movement. The trapped air will then
hold you up for quite a while like water wings.... and they can always be
reinflated ad nauseum.

His biggest risk was hypothermia. If he'd only had a light.... I always carry
a waterproof light with me in my car and when I fly. Always.
