There are a number of markers in the middle between Bear Is and Jolly Is that you have to pay attention to especially the one at the point of Bear Is. That buoy you need to go to the inside of the buoy. If going that way you need to make a wide sweep into the lane. If you cut the corner you may have some unexpected persons in your boat. I've had persons come close to hitting me due to cutting the corner. That's why I travel the other route.
Just curious, why not launch from Melvin Village/19 Mile Bay.

Not launching from Melvin/19 Mile because I'm on valet at Meredith Marina. I understand the greater ease, but I'm a Mass guy who is up on the lake every weekend I can from May to October with a couple full weeks in to boot.
Got my boat at MM, and am happy with them, the service, and convenience of valet.
