Default other DIVES

I think converting one of those 80 foot houseboats would be a quick way to expand.
Check out the WILLY T in BVI. Its a pirate looking sailing vessel that serves drinks in a bay off one of the islands. It used to be Norman Is. I don't remember if they had food. The original burned or sunk and a new one was built. The first time I went you could jump off the top deck into the water naked and females only would get a free T-shirt. That stopped for awhile after some one was injured. The second time I went back a couple people jumped off the top deck naked but no T-shirts are given out anymore. I don't know if there are any other DIVE like barges in the US. I would be surprised if there wasn't at least one other somewhere.

The Willy T. does serve food. Fun place. We usually end up at the Soggy though.

yea, figured they did but I wasn't there for food, LOL! Great painkillers. The 1st time there was much more fun than the 2nd time I was there. I think it was subdued after whatever incident there was that they stopped encouraging the naked jumping.

The Soggy Dollar was the best beach bar I have been to. Great painkillers as well but they have a banana bender that is my go to drink. The 1st time to BVI I went to Foxy's also and that was also a blast. The 2nd time to BVI not so much. I've been to several great beach bars all around the carribbean. Thats the place for something like the Dive IMO, not the lake.

Default 1 solution for all lake "problems"?

1 solution for all lake "problems"? Cover the Witches with enough sand to cover all the rocks creating a giant sandbar. Permanently place The Dive in the middle of the sandbar. Mount a Light House on top of The Dive. Done, done, & done.

That's what I've been saying all along! Then we can call it "witches come true".

This is one of the reason I stay away from the waterfront. I would not want people blasting music and hanging out in my backyard all the time. Admittedly though, the main reason being that it is instantly expensive and not at all affordable. Any water front property big enough with acreage to give you the privacy and location, ie: along the broads, where rafting isn't necessarily easy. Realistically you are well into the 7 figures.

As a shore front owner, I can tell you that for the most part people don't intrude. And most of the load music ends up coming from your neighbors, and when you explain to them how disruptful blasting their music is they turn the volume down......

AAAAHHH the beauty of island property checks all those boxes... but one. The 7 figure price tag (for now anyways).

Where else do the birds serve as an alarm clock because it is so quiet otherwise they are LOUD in the morning!

We've been lucky with our neighbors. Never any loud music or noise. It all comes from the boats. And for the most part they are ok too. It's just those few.
