Broads and wind
My first boat was a 17.5 bowrider. We used it all over the lake. We also learned about the north west wind and the broads.
If the NW, N, and sometime WNW wind is 11 mph or above Do Not Go there. You will get tossed around and it is scary. I remember screaming in a storm going from Wolfeboro to Welch Island.. "We are going to die, we are going to die!"
Since then, I have a bigger boat (20.5') and watch the weather forecast all of the time. If the forecast for 03810 is over 12, I am probably not going out there. This is for the broads and the more southern parts of the lake.
You will learn what wind direction and speed impacts where you want to go. The more adventurous will go out there in heavy wind. On more calm days and on non-weekend days it is a joy to go all over the lake on any sized boat. Our favorite is jetski travel.
Have fun, there is no better place in the world
