Hmmmm....I'm 67 and I trailer, launch, boat, fish and retrieve alone all the time. (A powerwinch on the trailer is a must). Please don't misunderstand me, I love having company, but a lot of times ppl have something else to do. To my way of thinking lifes too short to not go fishing when you get the chance. You just have to observe the proper safety precautions... always wear a life jacket of some kind (I like the kayakers type because of their cut out arm holes). Always wear a safety lanyard. Always attach your engine cut off switch cord onto your person. Unless there are health concerns it's really not that hard for a single person to do it alone. Try it, you'll like it.

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
