We sometimes have an instinct to head straight to the middle of the lake, maybe because of the views. The center of the lake is a vulnerable place to be, particularly if it is large. Rescues, escape from storms, wave size and wind exposure become much greater concerns. The shoreline offers scenery, wildlife, quick escape from weather and easy recovery after rescue.
