Nor is there anywhere near the amount of parking space given its a "No Rafting" zone.

Most likely they want to work out the bugs before going all over. Also, I think they have the proper food/liquor permits for Alton, and the other towns on the lake haven't signed off yet.

That being said.... I have no sympathy at all for waterfront property owners who bought property on the borders of what is essentially a State Park.... then whine and complain about the people enjoying the park!

Some "poor" person on Sleepers Is is indignant because their view of people rafting and partying in Smalls Cove has been ruined by a party barge in Smalls Cove? Really? That's your argument?

"before going all over?" So it was established that the most likely locations are sandbars so patrons can walk to it and there is a larger concentration of patrons. So that leaves Smalls Cove, Braun Bay and Margate sandbar. It has also been established that the Margate sandbar is not possible due to bridge and beam of the Dive. So that leaves Braun Bay. By their own accounts the dive is doing well at Smalls so why would you spend the time and gas money to travel to Braun Bay? So I ask again, where else are they going to go?

Anywhere on the lake. Until you out of staters pass legislation saying otherwise...

Anywhere on the lake is not a money maker, only a large sandbar will work and i'm not an out of stater.

Only a large sand bar will work? Please post your study that concludes that only a sandbar will work.

I am sure that it can dock anywhere that the MT. Washington can dock.... Sell some booze and a burger to the visiting tourists and move along....

BTW, who established that sandbars are the locations? You are the only one that has suggested so, that I have seen.

You think the Dive is going to dock? Where will it dock?
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.

Some immature banter going on here, time to give this thread a time out.

So, I'm handed a form at a doctor's appointment...

▢ Muscle/Joint Pain?

▢ Blurred Vision?

▢ Smoker?

▢ Chest Pains?

▢ Weight gain/loss?

▢ Sleeping Difficulty?

☑ Cancer history among Family Members?

▢ Breathing Difficulties?

▢ Headaches?

▢ Allergies?

But I'm usually fairly

cool until the physician's checklist requests:

▢ Substance Use?

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

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.”

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

Who established that sandbars are the location? The Dive did. Read the first post at the beginning of this thread. 1. In the Dive statement describing their business states they will serve sandbars.

The water at those sand bars is going to be bright yellow. They will look like a leman drop from the sky. Not that they aren't yellow already. It will just be a little brighter where ever the Dive is anchored.

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

The WinniBelle just went by Sleepers with a party. Music playing and people having a good time. We love the WinniBelle and the Mount as well as seeing - and hearing- people have fun on the lake. It looked
like even they veered by the tenement house anchored in Smalls Cove - probably out of curiosity and happy they are on the WinniBelle
