I used to keep long bow and stern lines, push the boat off the trailer and pull it back in and secure it while I parked the car. That was on a beach on Half Moon Lake. In the other direction I used Glendale. Everybody there was experienced and willing to hold the lines to assist me. Asking for help in advance pretty much guarantees no embarrassment and a quicker launch/retrieve. Much easier than asking for help getting you out of a SNAFU after the fact. If the boat ahead of you in line has just one wench, offering assistance is mandatory.
