August Vacation

Jim -

It's actually very well marked and the ride through (if you dare) is actually quite an experience as most times you can vividly see the rocks on either side.

As a Newbie to the lake I would caution against it if it's choppy and it is always good to time yourself so that there is not another boat coming at you while between the markers -- although passible, it does make it interesting (headway speed or not).

The passage in reality is not that long a ride and does have a twist or two to it !!

Best approach for first timers is from the South to North ..... you tend to line up easier (in my opinion)

Agreed, I have trouble spotting the markers coming from the north and use my GPS to get to the channel entrance.
