Default .... install a big bright sail atop The Dive?

Say ..... the photos above of the Willy T come from the British Virgin Islands and the Willie T got badly damaged by a hurricane or two, last September, 2017. It has been rebuilt, but the new Willy T has been reborn without the sailing masts and now looks more like a motor yacht than a sailing yacht.


Here's an article from the Press Herald newspaper in Maine: August, 2014; https://www.pressherald.com/2014/08/...loating-feast/ ... (13-photos) ...... about a one women lunch boat business in a classic 20' open Maine motor launch that she putt-putts around and about Penobscot Bay. Someone could duplicate that business here on Lake Winnipesaukee and maybe do business in the same sand bar area at the entrance to West Alton Marina as The Dive. Competition is what makes America great ..... someone once said! ...... no, on second thought ..... this will never-ever happen ...... Lake Winnipesaukee is a long, long, long way from Penobscot Bay, over in Maine.

So, who knows, but maybe if this floating restaurant-bar barge, The Dive, were to install a sail mast with a big colorful sail high atop the barge structure ...... it could dress itself up with a more nautical look ....... maybe a huge yellow and orange striped main sail or something to create that sail boat look from afar .....down the lake ... to make it look more like a boat ..... and less like a floating fast food, restaurant-bar that remains in one spot all the time ...... The Dive.

It needs a big sail .....yeah ..... that's what it needs to make it look more like a boat ...... it needs a sail!

And, it would be appreciated and revered as a long time Lake Winnipesaukee icon ......... forever after ..... definitely ........ ugh!
