Ok, I have another one for you: During the summer of 2003, Shep Browns sold a new 28 ft cruiser to a wonderful couple from a town south west of the lake. On the day that they arrived to pick-up the boat and get the shake
down cruise they announced that they were going to Meredith for lunch. Now this boat had a gps, vhf, a new Bizer Chart Etc.. At 3

m we get a call from our new customer who says " I am very lost" Since I took the call, my first question was " What does your gps say?? Well he admitted that that he had not thought to turn the unit on!! When I informed him that he was not lost I think he felt better and I asked him for the coordinates and told him to get out the Bizer. People need to realize that Winni is a big lake but if you think that you are lost. find a Lighted Buoy and write down the number. The location of each are found on the back section of the chart.
He was one very embarrassed dude upon his return!!
