Point to WATER
Point to SINK

I'm just amused. Looks like I instigated quite the disaster by jumping in at the last minute and then upsetting the apple cart on the normal procedures. And speaking of disasters, I'm chiming in here super late today after four extra hours of driving thanks to a bridge closed for a gas leak.
Anyway, on with the show, assuming Water and Sink hit. First off, I don't like Crash. To say Water + Sink + Crash, there's an unmistakable clue in Titanic.
As I always say, reverse-engineer the clue. What combination would lead the spymaster to think of Lifeboat? Water + Sink + either Drill or Board is what gets there. Not Bay or Fish or Sign, those wouldn't bring your thinking to this clue.
Board and Drill seem about equally probable. I favor Board since that's safer on the downside. I think it's possible for a spymaster to overlook or be unfamiliar with "lifeboat drill" as a phrase, while boarding a lifeboat has to be noticed as something you'd expect the team to potentially guess.
In other words, I like Board, reasoning that it has to be no-worse-than-gray. If it is, then no harm done and we catch up on Drill next round. If that also misses, then try Fish after that.

Not convinced on Crash. Just because a better clue exists doesn't mean the spymaster thought of it, and Crash is a pretty strong connection to Lifeboat regardless. I am willing to put this as a backup word though.
I've never heard of a Lifeboat Drill but if that's a thing then that is a specific reason to use Lifeboat, which means I'll put that as my choice from the remaining words.
I like Board the least of these 3, even though it's the safest, because then the clue could just be Boat (and I guarantee Dave did not miss Boat).
Agree that the others are too unlikely.
