Highly doubt that.

. This gives the people around Smalls a break

A little odd it’s on a Tuesday and not a weekend or holiday. Not many tourists or seasonal residents during the week in October. Columbus weekend would be better.

Do the Selectman give permission for a commercial use of the public docks? Maybe a weekend date is already too busy, parking, etc.?

strum · 09-26-2018, 11:30 AM

Doing this on a Tuesday in October?????? Who is going to go!

Sure seems like the time, money and effort to build The Dive would have been better spent constructing a dredge barge for working the shallow Alaskan coastal waters, sucking up pay dirt muck from the bottom of the Bering Sea, looking for gold. Who knows, maybe it will get converted into a dredge, and go to the Bering Sea …… talk about a slow voyage from here to Alaska?

In Alaska, they scream: Gold, we got yellow color showing in the box!

In Alton, NH, they scream: Wanna go visit The Dive and get a beer for 12-dollars!

Only thing I can say is why? Maybe they contracted with someone for off season docking?

Momo · 10-02-2018, 05:05 PM

There isn’t enough booze in the bay to go out on the Dive barge on a night like tonight. Kudos to those who do go out.... at least your beer will be cold😀

Taz · 10-02-2018, 06:08 PM

The Dive just announced after driving all the way to Alton town docks, they were greeted by Alton police and were not permitted to use the town docks to board passengers, supplies, can not use the docks for anything to do with their cruise. They didn't arrange permission with the town prior to the event? What is wrong with the owners? They then had to return to WAM to board and leave from there and cruise is now 7 -10, and they missed out on the DJ because they couldn't reach him before they left Alton.

$20 just to board, $12 - $14 for overpriced average cocktails in the pouring rain with only partial cover from the rain. It's a Tuesday also. I don't think they thought this through at all.

Somebody posted a picture of it in the Bay. It looked very lonely.

fatlazyless · 10-02-2018, 08:11 PM

If only The Dive can land a $25,000/tv episode gig with the Discovery Channel for a reality tv show on-board The Dive ..... doing what the Dive does best ..... floating around the lake ..... and drinking ..... another week on-board The Dive ... glug-glug-glug.

Sigh.. Folks trying to make a living and folks whining about everything ruining it for others. I'm sure there were so many other folks wanting to use those docks tonight.

It's either the boats are too fast and they are ruining the lake, or they are too slow and ruin the lake. NIMBY.

Obviously not friendly to business, as are most administrators of town docks. e.g. Gilford, Laconia, etc. I'm a little surprised that the Dive didn't foresee this. At the same time, it would have been nice on a rainy night in October, for the police to give the Dive a ticket for $100 when they returned at the end of the cruise instead of totally preventing it. After all, until they started boarding passengers, no law was broken and nobody was hurt. Regardless, a phone call in either direction would have been a better plan.

Actually the attached ordinance that prevents this type of activity was passed by the voters of Alton at a March 14th, 1990 town meeting.

wouldn't The Dive be a taxpayer in Alton?

fatlazyless · 10-03-2018, 01:53 AM

If they phoned Alton Town Hall, "hellooooooo, can we use your dock? ....... the presumed answer would be "sorry, no", but if they just do it, maybe it will slide by and get it done ..... ok?

What's a super-duper, totally awesome business plan for The Dive? If The Dive was really smart thinking, it would invade Downing's Landing at the southern most tip of Alton Bay, tie up to the dock there, raise their flag, and declare Downing's Landing to be their permanent, forever home. Is so nice to have a place to call home, and that shaky-waky state dock would probably get rebuilt a whole lot sooner... ha-ha-ha.

tis · 10-03-2018, 05:04 AM

I know in Wolfeboro the Mount and Winni Belle and Millie B (Boat Museum) all have to go to the town to get permission to use the docks.

Wishing the Dive good luck in their new location. As I am not far from there I will definitely pay them a visit.

I would rather go to the Dive from the street on a motorcycle ride, (while it's docked at the Weirs), than to get on board from my boat to it, while out on the water at some sand bar. I like being on MY boat when I'm on the water. The boating season is short for me, (weekends only), so when I go boating, I like to enjoy being on my boat as much, and as long as possible. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Dive does more business docked at the Weirs, than out on the water. Time will tell... I do wish it success either way though.
