This makes me wonder... do the local rental companies even warn about or suggest area's for tubing/skiing/rafting? Or even warn of the dangers?

My wife and I rented a boat from Winnisquam Marine last week. I've never been on Winnisquam and wanted to check it out for an afternoon boat ride. I was shown where everything was in the boat, told not to go to the far south bay, and off we went. I did ask for a map but I assume one would have been offered anyway. We weren't tubing or anything, so that won't really apply with my comment. I asked the dock staff how many first time boat drivers want to go for the first time ever on their boats and he said a lot. Imagine a first timer trying to figure out Winni.
