our first trip out!

Tom took us out to the Broads (sp?) first, went through the grave yard then on the return trip we went around them. After docking we set out on our own. We went to Moultonboro Bay and a little further past that, I don't have my chart in front of me so I can't remember where it was. Tom has the patiance of a saint I swear!!
It was a little confusing on the return trip, but red right return was steadily on my mind while at the helm. There was a little boat traffic, more then we expected on a Monday anyway. We met two great couples while at Melvin Village Marine while docked. They gave us confidence that everyone has been through it, to take our time and just enjoy and learn the lake.
One thing we would like to do is anchor up somewhere and just swim and eat. On our little outing we couldn't find any place like that, at least close by. Next trip we would like to put in a little closer to home which would be Alton Bay. Would anyone have any suggestions and\or cautions for this area?
Thanks again everyone for the great advice, if you see us out there we are the 20' white Four Winn's with the single green stripe (most definitely with the bimini up)
