Hi everyone- please forgive me for the following questions, which for the rest of you will have obvious answers. We are renting a house this July 4rth week on Tuftonboro neck. Very excited as it will be our first Winnipesaukee vacation. We have a 19 foot Maritime skiff/center console. We have a fishfinder sounder/depth chart. We have Garmin 182 GPS but have been told by the Garmin people they don't have a chart program for the Lake. We have been told that the Lake is a challenge to navigate. Anyone have any information for us? I read in this forum about a Bizer (lol, I don't even know what that is although my husband might). We just want to be prepared.

We will be bringing kids who would like to do 'tubing' behind our boat. Is this safe in Tuftonboro neck? We are pretty cautious boaters and not speed demons. Also, I have been told that you can take your boat to Wolfeboro and there are public docks there so you can motor over and have lunch. Is this a far ride from Tuftonboro neck and would I need to make arrangements in advance in order to be able to tie up? Sorry if these questions are so basic! Thanks in advance- L
