Or, are there areas on the lake that are more calm than others during storms? I would hate to cancel because of 20 minutes of rain, but would also hate to put my wife in that position. Any thoughts would be apprecitated.

We've been out on the boat and been caught a few times over the years. Having a bimini on the boat is helpful and we always have a cheap pair of glasses in the glove box. Rain feels like tiny darts hitting your face while driving fast. best advice, watch the skies and listen for the thunder rolling in. Its a pretty big lake and not all areas will get hit during a storm. I've seen it pouring at the Weirs and the sun out in Meredith.
