Well, If you are staying in CH, even though you'll need the car, not boat, don't miss the Village Kitchen for lunch or breakfast. It's very close, and if you miss it, well, you missed it. Just go.
As far as the boating...advice is all over this forum. Heed it all. From me, I'll say this. Ask others if you are unsure of something. But most importantly...Winni is a bit unique in that there are just so many areas that appear to be wide open water...smooth sailing. And the next thing you know, you have no prop. When planning a trip, look at the chart, plot your course carefully, and note all hazzards along the way. Note the spars in open water, and know what they mean..solid red, vs. red/white spar etc. Take notice of them as you pass them, and then plan for the next one.
Two other things. By car, and close by, The Bob House is a decent stop.
Lastly, not to take issue with Rattle Guy, who is a well respected member of this forum. But indeed do go to Meredith. Many, many choices (Town Docks Beach Bar/ Guisseppis/ Lake House/ Lago...you can't miss) but if you are looking for the hands down, best breakfast on the lake...the best...walk past Sunshine and Pa's, 3 doors down the same street, and go to George's. You'll note the fact that you can walk right into Sunshine and Pa's, yet the line at George's is out the door, into the street. There is a reason for this. No slam on Sunshine's...just that George's is the best, and people wait to get in. See if there is room in the screen room, out back. Very nice...everything made right there...even the bread...white, wheat, raison. The place has it goin' on!
Oh yeah...if you are in an "adults only" situation, and fancy a Margarita, and want a new experience...take the boat to the Weirs, and go to Crazy Gringo's. Pay no attention to the all the bikes, and the bikers outside smoking. It is a fun place, the staff is very friendly, and you'll be very comfortable once in there and settled into a Marg, served in a mason jar. Complimentary chips/salsa. Order a couple apps. Great place.
Enjoy your vaca.
