Definitely a lot of good advice. I'd say the real thing that makes Winnipesaukee "interesting" is there are a lot of markers to be aware of, and the only way to know how where they are is to carefully explore the lake. Ideally this will be with someone who already knows it well, but otherwise keep a chart nearby and consult it religiously, and go out with someone sharp eyed who will point out markers too in case you don't see them (kids are great at this!). Oh, and as others said, go out on weekdays over weekends!
Other than that the hardest part about boating is the docking part itself, especially when it's windy. First practice with no wind.
