Does anyone know if the State conducts bacterial testing in Braun Bay and Smalls Cove when they are mobbed with people who come for the day with no rest room facilities? Water circulation moves that “stuff” somewhere in the lake. It is good that the Dive has facilities, but it can not possibly take care of The “crowds” of people they are reportedly drawing to the sand bars.

I think you've got it backwards. The Dive isn't drawing crowds to the sand bar, the sand bar crowd is drawing The Dive.

That petition (for whatever good having a petition is) is closing in on 2,500 signatures in a few days, not that bad.

Exactly, but don't forget that those 2,500 aren't affected by the Dive's presence--they get to leave. Ask how many people want the ice cream truck anchoring in front of their homes.

I will say that I'm appreciative that we can head to WA sandbar sans Dive most days. The good neighbor metaphor is apt.
