Default Now we can’t see the Mount!

Price of progress I guess. Behave yourself on the Dive; we can see you.

I can't imagine that The Dive will remain at the gas dock and in the view of the webcam. That would really reduce the gas sales if half the dock was blocked. I think it is where it is now because it's easier to work on at the gas dock. I assume the pier has another position for it once the work is done.

I hope it does move since it will block the view of the Mount at its dock!

I would hope so as well! I often use this cam to judge the conditions off The Wiers before calling for valet...

..... oh well, wait and see, The Dive should quick put up a happening sign so it shows in your cam shot .... just to get some freebie publicity here ....

.... who knows but maybe The Dive moves to the right, a couple slots closer to the Mount, and installs a new tie-up, tall tree post into the lake, or something?
.............

Having a floating bar and restaurant so close to the gasoline pumps like that, is very unusual, plus it is a remote access location with a down and about access from the street, there .... tomorrow, May 10 is supposedly the opening day ..... wonder what the Laconia Fire Dept thinks about this situation?

As a kid growing up, can recall how the fueling station at the Charlestown Naval Shipyard was way far away from their officer's club bar/nightclub/restaurant, and the Navy would never ever allow a bar/nightclub/restaurant to set up at a gasoline dock ..... never in 244-years ... is just not the Navy way.

What does the Navy and Coast Guard do for fire safety around their fuel docks? They limit access and there is no smoking.
