I did use it on Winnipes.several years ago also.
BPOE-RRR -stands for Black on Port(Left) on Entry-Red Right Returning. Of course it's the reverse when going out from Port. After a very short time you will remember the ditty.
Hope this helps.

That's a good way to end up in the rocks on Lake Winnipesaukee
As said Red Right Return does not apply to the lake.
Another tip: Never ever ever use Left or Right as terminology when navigating the lake. When I teach people to navigate I am always careful to say "Pass to the west of that buoy or pass to the south etc." Your right and left changes depending on direction.
