Hello all,

I'd like to introduce myself. Long time browser of the forums but my first post here. I want to thank everyone so far for their contributions to this forum. Ive gained plenty of information in the amount of time I've been reading here. Now I have a few specific questions.

I've been a long time boater (15+ years) and have navigated the entire Long Island sound coast. I live in CT just near the casinos on the Thames river. Up and down the river, out to the races in the sound, and trailered to local lakes. I have charts for every available waterway I traverse.

I have ordered the Bizer chart and will pick up lakewinni app for my phone as a back up. What I would like to know before reading the charts and planning routes from one side of the lake to the other is if there are any special conditions ( ie. obstacles, specific routes) to take note of. I am renting a house on Whortleberry Island, and putting in at pier 19. I have plans on visiting all parts of this beautiful lake. What I would like from those that have more knowledge than a chart can provide, is any information relating to my trips between the pier and the island, and the island and other popular places on the lake.

Going by the charts will be easy enough, but I'm hoping I can gain as much info as I can to have not only a very fun vacation by a very safe one as well, not just for my family but everyone else enjoying the lake.

Lived in NH for 10 years so I know how helpful and courteous we can be. Looking forward to hearing from you all.
