Obviously, you can get to the Weirs. From there, take out your chart and follow the Sophie C or the Doris E. You know they're going in deep water and they'll come back to the starting point. When the PA system says 'x;' island on your left, check the chart., and 'x' island will be on your left. EASY. Enjoy yourself and don't get all worked up about the warnings here. Wolfeboro for lunch? Follow the Mount. You just need to check her schedule for follow times. I recommend Jo Greens second floor deck.
There's a lot of talk here about GPS, but a compass is more reliable and cheaper by a factor of 10. Look at the chart, look at the compass, and follow the commercial boat home.
