I've recently gained access to a friends boat to use in the bays for salmon. I'm a veteran of the launching wars and am well versed in the good etiquette needed to keep things moving in a tidy manner.

Here's my dilemma:

I know all to well that 2 guys launching is essential so as not to tie up the ramp. One backing the truck down, the other in the boat to fire it up and ease on/off the trailer.

But, I will be in a situation where partners aren't always available. I'm very sensitive to the fact it is considered bad form to tie up the ramp as I envision myself backing the truck down....hop out and into the
boat....drive the boat off to moore somewhere, all the while the truck is sitting on the ramp...people get impatient.....you get the idea.

What is a guy to do? Not fish? I know I get VERY impatient when people drag their feet at boat ramps but I'm not sure how to approach this. I don't want to tie up the ramp but it seems kind of stupid to sit at home with a boat ready to fish too.

What do you guys think?
