Believe it or not we did take the course, passed with a 93. I guess my wording was alot off, which I am more then willing to admit. We did follow the chart believe me! lol...so there was really no luck involved ( thank goodness) just my lack of NH waters wording.
We do plan on investing in a GPS system, do you have any suggestions on a good system to purchase?
WOW!! DID YOU GET LUCKY!!
Red/Right/Return is not applicable on Lake Winnipesaukee or on any inland waterway in NH!! You got very, very lucky. This assumption could have cost you some serious $$$ and wrecked a great 1st outing!
Please, please take the safe boater course and learn how to navigate the cardinal (spar bouy) system. Puck is correct... Black (cold color) = stay to the north or east of the spar, Red (hot color) stay to the sout or west of the spar.
You also might want to invest in a GPS that has the Bizer Chart. Its not completely foolproof... but it's cheap insurance.
