Always remember that Red Hill is approximately North of the lake. If you don't have a compass look for Red Hill for North.

Black and white is North or East, Red and white in South or West. Always navigate BETWEEN the solid black and solid red.

If you should lose your bearings, look for a light spar. Look for their number and match it up to the markers on your map. Yes, a map! Don't navigate without it!

The early mornings can be very foggy and moon less nights are scary! In these situations a compass and or GPS is a must! Unless you are VERY familiar with lighted buoys positions. Lately the light pollutions from properties along the shorelines can make it confusing!

Obey what you have learn from the safety course. Navigate DEFENSIVELY, too many Caption Boneheads out there!
