Fishing ocean.....alone

[bgreene]

Two safety advantages to two or more on board:
1. In case you fall overboard
2. In case of medical emergency

Other than those situations, I don’t feel less safe alone, I most frequently do fish aloneand often prefer it . I fish how I please, where, and when plus less responsibility regarding guest comfort. I wear an auto inflate PFD with sports whistle, and the GPS locator to signal coast guard if I fall in. On board, two VHF, flares etc plus charger that can ( supposedly) start my outboard if battery too weak. Would I survive cold water till the rescue boat arrived ? Maybe......depending on temp.

How do others feel about this ?
