While I'm no expert on things nautical, I do know that people up here are very helpful. If you arrive at your chosen boat ramp and someone is ahead of you, explain to them that it is your first time and ask if you can observe and ask questions. You can gain a great deal of information that way. To those who come in behind you, explain again that it is your first time and apologize in advance for your slowness. You will find most people will be more than willing to help you out. They will probably assist you since it will mean they can get in the water quicker. If you run into a member of the Capt' Bonehead group . . . just shrug it off as a learning experience.

Good luck and enjoy the lake!
