I just booked a three day trip in May on Winnie. Anyone familiar with this resort?

Thanks,

I ahve stayed in the past.  Nice people there.  Ramp is located right there and they have slips for docking.  Depending when your going to be there going through the channel at Weirs Beach can be very rough.  Also make sure in this area not to get up on plan any where close to another boat.  You will get a ticket.  Last make sure you have a Coast Gurd or boating safety class certiciate with you.  It required on NH waters.

Thanks Rob. Isn't the certificate required only for boats over 18' in length?

[Rob L]

No for any length boat that has a gas motor.

I think it is not required if you were born before a certain date. What is it in RI?
