Boat solo a lot, love having people on board but....something special about being alone with the boat and the ocean

I don't mind solo boating. I used to do it more frequently back when I had a lot of weekday time on my hands. During the week it's hard to find any crew.

I love coming home during the week and just going out by myself, clears my mind and eases tension, I find when I dont do it for a long time I start getting grouchy..

I also like going out on runs and weekends with friends but not as relaxing to the mind.

There's no better feeling of freedom than being out on the water on your own, in command of your own boat, just you and the sea. When you just need to clear your head, there's no better prescription.

+1...use to be a bass fisherman so a lot of time on the water alone. I would also run the boat alone during the week later in the afternoon when I needed some time to relax and clear the head. Nice calm 70+ running and no worries because there were very few boats out. the sunsation is on a lift at the camp so now it's even easier to go out alone. I love it.

Can't think of anything better. Turn some music on, and go wherever you want, however fast you want. It is always relaxing

Exactly! Sometimes I'll leave work early during the week, or not go in at all

Nice to go wherever, just cruise along, do what you want without having to listen to anyone or do anything. It's a great place to have some solo time.

Don't get to do it very often, so it remains special.

I usually take the wave runner or fishing boat for solo trips & the cat for two or more.
