Are charts all that necessary out on the Big lake? Let's face it; you buzz around the lake, go here, go there, go everywhere. Trees, trees, and more trees, a big long wall of green with every buildable spot all built out. Stay out in the hot sun for 45 minutes and get bounced around by the ever-present boat waves and guess what? Does it really matter where you are, out on the Big lake because after about 45 minutes it all just becomes one great big blur; horizon, trees, water, waves and boats. Just so long as you stay 150' away, from everthing else. Safety Rule #1, the real Winni boater will never carry a map or a cell phone or a gps. Trial & error is best.
