Sliding or hoping (as the need may be) off to the down-wind side and holding on to a leashed paddle or game clip are good points. Also keeping a good grip on your yak as you maneuver around it is very important in windy conditions. Also remember to fix or slow leaks first (if you can), then work on the bailing of water.
