Exactly. I boat alone quite often. I rigged my mid-side fenders with a bottom "string" so I can pull them up on the side deck. I use the docking pole to help push the anchor from the forward hatch. I always wear a life jacket and remember that neutral is good - but I boat a lot in the delta and the current is swift so not sure how much good. I do worry about getting my anchor stuck on something and having to deal with that on the forward deck though... when I last snagged something a friend was with me and we were able to work on it together.
And docking with a lot of wind is "challenging" without some help. I try and avoid windy days (hard to do in the delta though).
