Always know where you are! On my first visit to the lake almost 30 years ago, my girlfriend and I rented a small V-hull. The marina insisted I buy a map as well and they oriented me to the navigational aids. While I thought I managed the day fairly well, I was shocked when we came back to the dock and they raised the prop for inspection. There were some minor dings! At some point I had been in water shallower than I knew. I did get my deposit back as the damage was pretty minor but it served as a stark lesson on the perils of navigating the lake. As Phantom said, never follow anyone with the assumption that they know where they are going! I’ve seen several folks over the years fly through areas with only luck keeping them from a rock!
