One or the other

Why is it when some people go boating and bring guests (family, friends etc) they can't do one or the other? What I mean by this is why can't one person unload the boat off the trailer and park it while someone else drives the boat.

10 years ago my boyfriend said to me you can learn one or the other. So he taught me how to trailer the boat (along with some other trailers we own). Now when we get to the ramp he starts backing it down to a spot where he can jump on and start the boat. I then un-hook him and finish backing him in. After he is away from the ramp I pull the truck away and park it. He will then nose up to the dock nearby to pick me up.

This practice says time and energy at the ramp - leaving it open for all those other people who can't do one or the other.

This is just an idea for those of you who trailer.
