A couple of things... Maybe you can utilize the time when the law is
clocked out, say early in the morning or late in the evening? Less
competition at the water hole; predators still in bed, or watching the
evening news. No one is there to even have a 2nd thought.

We are after all moderately proficient and adaptable apes, but
handicapped by a weakness for habit and routine. Break the routine and
niche widens, competition diminishes, boundaries expand, stretch and
become porous. Go to the waters edge before first light and the world
is yours. Use the moon to open unknown universes. **** their 9 to 5 laws.

If you don't have one already, go get a DeLorme atlas for your state.
These atlases show all established public boat ramps and canoe
landings. Our affection for water is unique among apes; from our
heritage towards our destiny. Draw lessons from both shark and
sardine, and territorial ape.


Well, that's exactly the way I go around it now: when the predators
sleep. Originally I bought a bigger kayak cart that allowed me to walk
3 times as much with ease. But still the launching itself was a pain,
having a seawall and a drop, and stinking water. Still use it before 9
pm because of the predator.

It's unbeliebably beautiful at night and comfortable, at least in the
summer, and I have some islands around that offer the right reward: NO
JUNGLE.
