Here's some pics I shot this weekend in our cove. If these pics don't say Summer Fun all over them, then nothing does.

How deep is the water they are jumping into? Is it summer fun or summer stupidity? Water depth is the answer.
 
Looks like a great summer gathering. You're gonna get safety lectures though. We did that as kids without pfds ooooooo.
 
45'-60'...it's fun Flutterby. We're not stupid and we do check the water for objects prior to anyone jumping.
 
Then it is indeed great summer fun!
I had a friend break his neck diving into water which was 15 ft----except for the rock he hit. Put him into traction for 6 months and he missed a whole year of school. Taught me a big lesson about water depth and other hazards ......

They can save their lecturing (note: read my signature for how I'll respond to them.)

Well, everyone of the folks pictured grew up boating and around water and understand the dangers....and the respect them. That's why a safety check is done prior to even jumping from our swim platforms, much less the higher places.
 
How do they get up onto that hardtop?? And how much weight can it bear before cracking?

Looks like a blast though. Last summer we jumped off the bridge of a friends houseboat, wow, what a fall.......awesome!
 
Looks like a great time!!!!

Hopefully no belly flops and nobody landed square on their back (which I did once and can tell you first hand that it is NO fun).
 
Ouch, those guys are either nuts or skilled...looks like fun though!
 
Sam, that looks like one of the coves East and South of Grandpappy Point, toward Eisenhower?

What a neat scene!!! I recognize those clouds. We were going to try and get your way this spring, but with the late start (we finally splashed and spent our first night on the hook at Eufaula this weekend) we couldn't make it. Will it ever stop raining in N. Texas and Oklahoma? No water depth worries at Eufaula. The lake is 12 feet higher than when we hauled out last fall, and going higher. Debris in the lake is the main concern.

Thanks for sharing the fun :)))))

You climb on a seat in the flybridge area and slide under the arch. Not sure what the load bearing is, but there's never more than three people at a time.

Actually, it's southeast of Lighthouse Marina. If you were to come out of Grandpappy and immediately head south, it would be the first big cove on the left...it's called Deer Cove.

Here are some maps that a friend made up a few years ago, might help some of you find our spots.
and here is a legend for the flags on the maps. One of these days I'll put it all together in one file. No I'm too lazy to mess with that.

this is dangerous, you are an irresponsible boater endangering the lives of others... imagine that...
kids jumping in the water, they can really get hurt you know. they could fall getting up the wet ladder, slip
off the wet hardtop, crack and fall thru, fall on somebody in the water... then you have those
dark clounds... very unsafe ! we need rules against this ...

They could get hit in the eye with a ball of cotten and go blind. What is this world coming to?
Guess you can't have fun anymore. It's a wonder we all survived as kids
considering what we did on land and water.
