I also go out solo, though I try to team up with someone else. It never seems to work out. My preference would be to head out with someone else.

As for safety, I was out in LJ yesterday bounce balling for some Halibut. This huge yacht starts heading my way. I start waving my paddle at him since he is heading straight at me. The pilot waves back, so he definitely saw me. He passes in front of me at a decent clip about 30 feet away. The wake sent me nearly vertical. Stupid prick! His buddies sitting on the back of the boat waved, so I gave them the one finger salute.

Its good to be safe. Its good to be prepared. But always count on assholes.
