For what should I be looking?
Bizer will be up at Winnipesaukee several times over the next few weekends. We shall be checking for updates to our chart of the lake. If you know of anything that you think we should examine, please post it here or email us at updates@bizer.com. We are looking for such items as
September is the best time to boat on Winnipesaukee. Mingling with the steamboats at Lee's Mills makes it more enjoyable. The smell of wood and coal burning is exhilarating. |

A few small items
No number on FL 46 (Round I) last season or so far this season. Plus there is a "bush" on the rock under FL 46 that partially obscures the view of the light. If the bush keeps growing will that eventually qualify it as an Island?
I don't have my 6th edition in front of me, it's on the boat, but I don't think it has the relatively new "no wake" sign just north of the Gov Isl Bridge (see pic below - the sign is not far from what looks like a wake ). Thanks for all you efforts and the great chart/map.

Near Nine Acre Island
As you come out from behind Nine Acre Island, headed for the tip of Dow, there is a red spar that actually seems to be on the wrong side of some very visible rocks.

There is a red marker soutwest of Pine Island that was close to the island and now is quite far from it. However the change was made several years ago. Many boats cut inside it.

Dolly Island Designations
Could you supply me with the accurate names of the islands that make up
the Dolly Island group? I know them very well because I have been studying their plant and wildlife for over 2 years, but I want also accurate info. on their official names. Also any information on their history would be appreciated (Not concerning "Aunt Dolly",however, who did not actually reside on those islands) Thank you. My e-mail is garnerjoann.@aol.com |

The latest no rafting area on Winnipesaukee:
(11) Brickyard Cove, encompassing a described area that would run south of an imaginary line running about 2,300 feet from the northern tip of Clay Point to the southern tip of Barndoor Island. This is from http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rules/saf-c400.html So the boating-public-be-damned, yes. But, they went through legal channels to do it. It is just a matter of time until all the lake is a no-rafting zone. |

Also, I'm not sure but I noticed that one of the Black buoys going into Center Harbor has been missing.
And also, in the Patrician Shores/Brookhurst area, there is a dangerous rock field, where every year we witness 5-10 boat crashes every year, and about 20 near missed (That we've seen anyways). Perhaps make a note on the map that says Navigate with Caution or Dangerous Rock Field. I think it's poorly marked. As a matter of fact, a couple of weeks ago, we saw someone pull a skiier through there. I think the driver noticed the color change in the water, and immediately stopped the boat. He got out to help the skiier in and was standing in 2-3 feet of water. May want to make a note on that one! |

Yup, probably one of the worst marked (But easiest TO mark) spot on the lake. It's become a common event seeing daredevils and people who have no clue zooming through there.
I was just thinking that maybe the newest Bizer map could say: Navigate with Caution, or Navigate at your own risk, because it is so poorly marked (and not just "Numerous shallow spots" (Or whatever you said it was)) |
