Yep. I guess I'm somewhat of a professional lone wolf, as I do many runs solo, whether its in the boats, the convertible, or on the motorcycles. My friends, in fact, do actually call me Lone Wolf lol

Possibly 30% of the time I go alone wearing life jacket and lanyard,just in case. It's been that case for over four decades. You can't plan a trip with your wife always,hehe. Friends can be flaky at times too.

If I went out and did not take her she would kick my ass! My wife is a boating nut.

Yes I do go out alone sometimes. My girlfriend works second shift and some weekends and she is usually who I go with. I find as I get older my buddies have familys and other obligations and arent a phone call away like they used to be. Although I like the company of a good friend I also appreciate being out there just me and the big blocks

I used to when I had a smaller, easier to trailer alone type boat. The Nordic is a bit too much for me by my self on my ramp i frequent. She likes a bit of throttle to sit her happy. Now, if I had a slip

I'll be going out alone tomorrow. I really do enjoy running the boat by myself. As for launching and retrieving, even when my wife goes along, I'm still "alone" so I have it down to a science
