Lake Mead is a bit on the large side...
The one major difference is that you have no tides... and tides can royally screw the lake sailor when they venture out on the salty ocean for the first time...especially in coastal areas with races and rips...like Woods Hole... and such.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
