GL: Sngle handling locks on the loop

[fred]

Wayne & Lynn,

Yes, loneliness is a factor when single-handing.  I prefer to
avoid anchorages alone, so I tend to head for docks where there's always
company.  All I ever needed to do was walk up and down the row of boats and I
would encounter someone I knew from a previous stop or make new friends.  For
quite a few weeks I had a buddy-boat following me and we'd get together every
evening and explore the town.

Finding friends among the trawler set is
really easy, there's a lot of friendly folks out there.

Sure it can be and is accomplished, but it takes planning,
pre-meditation and
a strong desire to be on ones own.  I personally, don't
have a reason to live
that way, though there are a few out there that do.  We
know personally three
single handed female sailors and know of five male
single handers.  Each
prefers not to be alone, but find the adventure too
appealing to dismiss
because of loneliness.
