Was there bad weather in Houston today?
To: DoodleDawg
It looked like just too many little boats on the water. Everybody got rescued.

Possibly overloaded?
Possibly poor skippers?
Possibly drinking involved?
Possibly FR-style boating accidents?

Travis is not a very deep lake-too many boats close together get the water choppy...

I can't tell if this guy is serious or whether he's trolling. If it's the later then he's really good at it.

The $4 boat part... I can sure relate to that. Dropped GF off at the ramp with the boat and went to take the tow vehicle (TV) back to the campsite. Walked down to the shore and she was screaming that the deck was flooding. Just one time of several, you'd think I / she would have learned the first time. Good times.

For sure he is trolling. And its hilarious. That's my suspicion. And he deserves an Academy Award for it.

I spend quit a bit of time on the Lake of the Ozarks in central Missouri. It it a big power boat lake. We have just had our annual Shoot Out unsanctioned race weekend which has pontoons over a hundred MPH and big off shore boats over two hundred.
Deep lake, but the boats by the hundreds raft up to watch the races. When coming in or going out, even with wake-speed restrictions, the mass of boats coupled with wide variation in size and power make the lake churn for the viewers with six foot deep troughs. I have seen 35’ twin engine Formula boats stood on their keel by a 60 foot cruiser getting underway at the same time as someone else starts to move.
Its a factor of boat size variation, movement coordination and sheer numbers in a flotilla like this.
