Launching your Boats.

[komatsu-mike]

I have a question to ask.  To the ones that fish from boats. 
 I am prevented from fishing when I could go fishing 85 % of the time. The reason being, the difficulty launching and loading my boat alone or the safety concerns I have with fishing on the boat alone. My long time fishing buddies have moved or have passed away. I still could just go shore fishing, but it just doesn't give me the enjoyment that it once did. ( due to stamina and conditioning )  COPD sucks. !!!
 Do any of you guys launch and load alone. Any tips or answers to my issue to get me on the water would be Great. The Ice is coming and I have a need for that 1.8 MPH trolling speed.
