Let me echo, and point up something Rattlesnake Guy just wrote which is VERY important.

When navigating the lake and you come upon a set of markers which are confusing to you ---- DO NOT simply follow a boat through assuming they "know" which was the right course !! Grab your Chart!!! As we all know too well, there are many boaters on the Lake "With an Angel on their shoulder".

With that said, keep in mind that the markers are "deep/safe water passage" guideposts. Placed where they are for a purpose.

As you become familiar with the lake , given the lake level, some really do not affect (relatively) shallow draft boats such as yours or mine (24' bowrider). A classic example of this is the waters basicly East / South East of FL#1 (where we dock) or said another way -- the waters to the right of FL#1 as you exit the Wiers Channell heading towards Goveners Island. But remember, only experiance will get you what we call "Lake Knowledge". Do not be embarressed to hold up & pull out the chart.

Enjoy the lake -- the greatest times we had as a family were "exploring" the various sections of the lake when it was all new to us (many, many moons ago - unfortunately).
