    Next to EPIRBs, I'd put hand-held VHFs. I've read at least two raft survival stories which relate being passed within a mile or two by half a dozen ships. (the Bailey's was one - something like 117 days at sea. The other was two months or so by a young man whose name I cannot recall).

    Stay as close as posssible to where your epirb battery finally ran out of juice.  Rig the sea anchor, stay warm and forget about navigation!
