Newbie advice?

Don't know your age.... but more than likely you will be required to take the Safe Boaters Course and have your certificate! make sure you get a Bizer's Map!! Lake Winnipesaukee uses the Cardinal System of navigation and it can be tricky for a newbie boater, especially if you don't have a compass in your boat. If your boat has a GPS that takes a C-Map chip even better.

There are so many things to see and do...

Sally's Gut
Braun Bay
Greens Basin
Weirs Beach

the list goes on and on...

Have fun!!

Not much more advise I can give on where to go but I will re-emphasis 2 things - get a current lake navigation map and DO NOT go out after dark. The lake is much too dangerous at night (let alone during day too) for a novice.
