Lynne,
A couple of methods are possible.
1st - David's solution will work, but you may find it a bit more difficult if you have smaller hands then the meat hooks David calls fingers.
Alternate method #1) Starting from the position of scootering with your middle finger on the trigger, slide your ring and pinking finger onto the trigger. Now you can rotate your hand slightly clockwise and bring your middle finger above the handle. You are now gripping the scooter between your middle finger (on top of the handle) and your ring finger on the trigger. This frees up your index and thumb which you can now use to pinch the goodman handle and slide the light off your left hand.
Alternate method #2) This relies one a boltsnap being attached to the right side of the goodman handle. Slide your right hand as far left on the handle as you can get it. This will give your thumb room to work. Bring your lighthead close to your thumb and tilt it so the boltsnap dangles a bit. Use your thumb to trap the boltsnap against the handle. Done right you will force the light against the compass above and your thumb on the boltsnap below and will keep the light stable. Now simply slide your hand out of the light.
Richard - I vote for going from the site toward shore. Easier to get a mile long target as opposed to a 100' target.
Oh and... get an X.
