Default New To Winni boating

So I have traveled up to enjoy the lake a few times in the past year, staying in salmon meadow cove. I've only gone out on a canoe around the area. This year I will be able to bring my 18.5 glastron runabout. Not too impressive compared with some of the boats I've seen around but it does the job perfectly.

I've been told to put in at the ramp in center harbor and I cannot find any reliable information about the size of the ramp (how many lanes) and about parking. I'm assuming it will be very busy on a mid june saturday. How crazy will it be to tow it out on a sunday a week later?

And a google maps search did not find any nearby marinas with gas except Sheps, is this accurate?

I think I'm all set with my LakeWinni Bizer chart downloaded into my iPhone. I will literally take the boating exam the day before in concord and have updated all my safety equipment (they aren't too demanding in Worcester). I have two anchors but only about 150 feet of line, will this be enough? Its more than enough in Quinsig.

Anything else anyone can think of? Any tips on where to go to ski or just anchor and picnic, or pull up and eat?

I have been an avid boater mainly in south florida offshore waters and am new to lake boating. So I can help with any questions you may have about beautiful Worcester, Ma. or Miami boating.

Thanks for all your help
