For those of you who aren't in the know...

That picture was taken on a Saturday during July 4th weekend. Arguably the busiest weekend on the lake.

All pretty much all of the boats to the right of the Dive in that picture are anchored in deep water outside of the NRZ and not subject to the NRZ rules.

Braun Bay is usually crowded on a nice Saturday... but this day was an exception not the rule.

The Spuds the Dive uses to position itself are just heavy steel beams that drop vertically onto the lake bottom... they do no damage.

Property owners do not own the waterfront... Lake Winni is essentially a State Park and the State owns to the high water mark. As long as a person doesn't block access to your dock, there is nothing a property owner can do if people start congregating. If people complain enough, the State may do something about Braun... but be careful what you wish for! The unintended consequence could be a pile of boats off of your property!
