Exactly why I said early before traffic hits. Do you see construction barges rolling through at noon on a Saturday? They sneak through early. If the Dive was to go early they could also set up where they wanted at the Margate.

I don't see anything rolling through in that canal because I Don't go there. So I wouldn't know if barges go there or not.

Anyplace?
Previous floating restaurants on the lake did not anchor. They found a quiet spot and people found them. Much easier to do that now. With apps and other portable communications, you can set a schedule to be at 'X' island or cove and customers will know you're going to be on the protected side. There are plenty of places that are large enough for drive up (designed for that, remember?). The Dive also has plans for events (weddings, ticketed cruises, private parties, etc.) but these are often planned a year or more in advance, so you won't see many this year. With a lift-up ramp, she can pull up to your yard, or a dock, load passengers and get under way again (wind permitting for all you naysayers) and can probably be stable with the spuds in place if there is wind.
How about that oversize NWZ in Meredith? Protected from prevailing winds and perfect for all the rental paddle boards and kayaks. AND, if you work out an arrangement with the Mount, you can use her docks. It's owned by the Flagship Co. and they control it. It's been done before (Jack Dana, vessel "JackMar", for those who want names.. Almost everything has been done on Winnipesaukee before. |

I think I'm going to get a few investors and build a Cannabis barge. I'll call it the "Powder Keg". My barge will be more attractive. I'll make it look like a Pirate ship. I can see the $$$$$$$$$$ rolling in now. Everyone be happy!

Last name "Donovan'?
If the last name is Donovan, it could be called "Donovan's Reef-er".

Dive website says “ladders down at 11:00 AM” today in Smalls Cove. Yet they were there before 8:00 AM (as they have been on other days). An interesting business concept to beat your own customers to the sandbar to get your parking spot😀😀

By "ladders down" I believe they mean they open at 11:00am not that they are arriving at 11am

Exactly my point. I'm not convinced the Dive would be willing to leave at what 5 am? To beat the rush not to mention how long a ride from WAM it would be and then leave late at night? And then the gas money to get there. Smalls cove is looking real good. Look at their answers on their FB page when posters ask if they are going anywhere else. They say "it's being discussed" or "the weather is not favorable" or "Smalls is working good"
