Your ship's name is better suited to cocaine--equally profitable, though. A better name would be "Smoke on the Water" or, if keeping with the classic history of Winni, "The Mary Jane."

I think we're on to something here. How about "The Reefer"? :)

The has already responded on IBOLW, the Dive was not the source of the leak, also the last patron off the Dive said when he left there was no oil.

Being outboard powered (and new) it's doubtful the leak came from them, unless it was head or kitchen related. People are just looking for chances to hate on them.

The Dive can't dock where the MT Washington docks. Only the Mt can dock in Alton, Weirs, Wolfeboro and Meredith, those docks are for the Mt only. You are the only one that has suggested the Dive is going to dock. What other places will the Dive frequent that are not sandbars. If it anchors in deep water you will swim to it? Sandbars work because there is a large concentration of potential patrons that can walk to the Dive.



Anchor in deep water and have a jetski shuttle service - pickup to hang on Dive or deliver food like a drive in ! [emoji12]

Or we can be thankful the Dive has bathrooms and it solves the pee bay problem [emoji23]

All three or four places I've seen it have been in positive reviews, so it's not vindictive, and it sounds like not motor oil but maybe cooking, etc.

I'd just like to take a moment to recognize the most harmonious section of this thread revolves around...substances and absurd ship names. Bravo, all!

If the last name is Donovan, it could be called "Donovan's Reef-er".

2) Instead of canoes passing by, now we have that fake side-wheeler Winnie Belle getting "appreciative" horn-blasts from our out-of-state neighbors. (While they blast "Mack the Knife" through loudspeakers). :rolleye1:

3) Instead of being aimed sideways, "The Dive's" exhaust-vent should have been aimed in the conventional manner, with a tray to catch oily drips. :confused:

4) "The Dive" would have been better-accepted if they'd left off the vinyl siding, and had a "see-through" restaurant instead. :look:

The Real BigGuy 08-01-2018 09:45 AM

What do 1) & 2) have to do with the Dive? People need to accept the fact that things change. It’s not always what we want but, it is inevitable.

Dive website says “ladders down at 11:00 AM” today in Smalls Cove. Yet they were there before 8:00 AM (as they have been on other days). An interesting business concept to beat your own customers to the sandbar to get your parking spot😀😀

By "ladders down" I believe they mean they open at 11:00am not that they are arriving at 11am

▢ Smoker?

▢ Chest Pains?

▢ Weight gain/loss?

▢ Sleeping Difficulty?

☑ Cancer history among Family Members? :(

▢ Breathing Difficulties?

▢ Headaches?

▢ Allergies?

But I'm usually fairly :cool: cool until the physician's checklist requests:

▢ Substance Use? :fire:

I think everyone is painfully aware that you are a fun sponge.

Newbiesaukee 08-02-2018 08:27 AM

Although medical checklists are very convenient in this electronic records age; as a retired physician, I can attest to the fact that patients most frequently lie about substance abuse and sexual history. If the physician really wants to know, she /he must SPEAK with the patient. What a concept!

Back to the “Dive.”

Joebon 08-02-2018 01:41 PM

I went by the dive today and it’s not more of an eyesore than a bunch of boats anchored at a sandbar. I am not saying that is an eyesore, I am just saying that it fit in well with the scene. Also, I don’t see it moving much.

People seemed to be enjoying it.

kawishiwi 08-02-2018 08:49 PM

Ok, trying to wrap my mind around this...
Purchase boat for 10s of thousands of dollars,
pay for the yearly maint. & upkeep,
insure it,
trailer it to & from with expensive hauler, or, buy/rent a rack or slip,
fill it with gas,
go to the lake and get in your boat,
THEN
Travel 1 mile,
drop anchor in the sand,
Get OUT of your boat that you paid thousands and thousands of dollars for,
then WALK over and get on a DIFFERENT craft,
drop a c-note+ for lunch for four....

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Reilly 08-03-2018 04:57 AM

Looks cool. A lot further from shore then I expected based on the “storefront owner” comments. Anyone know what the little platform at the bottom left of the second picture is for.

You know the drill. "A boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into". The bigger the boat, the bigger the hole.
