======================================

I found myself in a similar situation last year, and after a bit of
cogitation discovered I could climb down over the bow, onto the
trailer winch, and then step down onto the tongue.

Yeah, well, I am barely able to walk and chew gum at the same time with
any grace...



Not ideal but it
worked. Another short handed trick is to back the trailer a little
less further into the water. When you power onto the trailer coming
straight in, the boat will stick there on the bunks instead of sliding
around.
