lake charts
 
Is there a online navigational chart of Winnipesaukee? I can’t find one

Lakesrider 05-25-2011 08:39 AM

No but you can order one. To Maine you should get it in two days if not sooner.

Go here.
http://bizer.com/

Sorry I should have mentioned that as well. Just thought he might be traveling down and might need a place to buy one while here....

My apologies to the forum.:(

Drunken press?:laugh:Did you happen to be enjoying a beverage while posting this?:D

Hole in the wall is shown on the Bizer between Little Bear and Cow Islands.The Barber pole is between Cow and Tuftonboro.

I'll see if I can find what your looking for.

I thought it was funny

My version of Bizer doesnt seem to specifically note the Barber Pole or Hole in the Wall. I just know them because I spend a lot of time around there. ...I am about ready to buy a newer Bizer one of these days....great charts!

That said, the only other "chart" that I consider reliable is on the Navionics chip that I bought to go with my Lowrance HDS system. Great charts but again, you won't see local names like Hole in the Wall or Barber Pole on those charts either.

Umhhh, just a minute...
 
...Granny checked. Drunken Press, all editions, has all three: Barbers Pole, Nipple Rock, and Hole in the Wall.
Bizer has two: Barbers Pole and Hole in the Wall.

Not so fast, Granny. The rock at light #46 is shown on Bizer's chart in its correct position, 240m (780 ft) due east of the northernmost point of Round Island. Duncan Press (nom de plume = Granny) is quick to point out that Bizer's chart does not label it as she does. All the while, suggesting that Bizer has completely overlooked a rock that is a hazard to navigation.

Bizer's name omission is intentional. Even before Bizer's first edition, friends remarked that the commonly-referred-to name was in poor taste so Bizer decided to call it "Light 46", "Rock 46" or, as labeled on Bizer's chart, "FL 46" because FLashing light #46 sits atop this rock. As late as 2003, Bizer could find nothing in print, other than Duncan's map, where this rock had any name at all. Bizer assumes the off-color name that Granny perpetuates was derived from the fact that vandals occasionally paint Rock 46 to look like a female body part.

As for Granny's accusation of errors-and-omissions on Bizer's chart: Physician, heal thyself. The true location of Rock 46 is almost two football fields north of where it is depicted on Granny's map. Use Granny's link to see for yourself.

That's kind of too bad. THat's how history gets changed. As long as I can remember, that has ALWAYS been known as Nipple Rock.

When I went to Camp Lawrence
 
...and that was in the '50's, it was known as Nipple Rock. Local lore, perhaps. We had a trailer in Glendale at that approx time, and people would talk about going out by Nipple rock to look for and watch Loons. Always seemed to be a good place to just hang out and watch the world go by, and look for loons. Still true today.

Anyway, whether it is called Nipple Rock or not, my concern would be if it is shown in the proper location, not whether is named correctly.

Never knew the word "nipple" was a bad word... I thought George Carlin set the record straight on bad words! :D

"Mammary Papilla Rock" just does not sound right! :eek:

Yeah and last time I checked males had nipples too. Apparently Bizer needs to look down his shirt:rolleye1:

Political correctness plays a part in the dumbing down of America. No different than how historical facts get sanitized in textbooks for the sake of PC.

I will use my Bizer map to clean another anatomical portion of my body:rolleye2:
