Is this what we're talking about (the marker center and rock south)?

Oh, that really stinks, heck of a way to start the season.

Yikes

that's right across from me. It's my late evening "take a left here" marker.

Last year I kayaked around there and was surprised by the number of boulders from there down to the state park.

I always give that area a wide berth at least until the park area.
Hard to tell whats under there.

I would think there would be another marker to cover the south side of that rock.I dont have chart of Winnisquam but is there one missing?

A truly unfortunate event for SAMIAM .....

But let others beware ..... In early Season, the markers may have moved (radically) and in some cases disappeared altogether .... regardless if Winnisquam or the Big Lake

Could have been worse. We're insured and its early in the season. we were close to shore and able to pole&paddle to a dock. I will say that Bennington was a handful in the wind getting into a dock.
Winnisquam Marine was great. Greg, the service manager had it picked up even though it was after 5 by the time I reached him.

Misspoke ...Gary in service. Not Greg

Good luck with the repairs Bob!

I almost had a similar incident once but I had an eye on my chart-plotter (Bizer chip). When I noticed the discrepancy I slowed down and steered wide of the area.

Remember. Technology is a wonderful thing and he who dies with the most toys wins!

Better luck next time.

Your insurance company will cover your repair 100%- doesn't even matter what side of the marker you are on. You are in good hands with Winnisquam and their service department. Too bad about the accident- but nobody got hurt, and boats can be fixed. Better now than in a month!
