Damn, more boats sunk than people showed up for plugs.

When I was just out of high school I worked at a small town sporting goods in W Texas doing boat repair, let's just say there was no lack of fiberglass work all summer

Unlike a boat, you cant buy common sense!

Yet no pictures or videos of any of the multiple boats that sank. Right.

That lake has a long "fetch", when the wind comes from a certain direction.

I’ve seen scary rollers on Travis before. Waves just bounce off walls of the shoreline and small wind drives some decent swells.

also none of the articles have really posted any facts that I’ve seen... boats sink/swamp all the time. If
you spend enough time at the lake you know what I’m saying.

 

[TRINDU]

Yep, series of storms rolled through centex yesterday.

Cant say I'm a fan of the type of people on Travis though. I laughed as well.

Travis County sheriff says no storm.....https://www.axios.com/trump-boat-parade-sinking-sheriff-2ca8cc05-e01b-4661-ba63-d77393dcb55f.html

Waves don’t get as bad on large bodies of water?

You're a long fetch.

Thay get much larger but the period between waves tends to be longer. On small bodies the waves stack up on top of each other. Plus they can come from different sirections due to the wind and waves themselves bouncing off the surrounding land masses.

Fuck all small bodies of water.

The water between United States & Great Britain is known as "across the pond"

supposedly it was just too much traffic, have some really big, really fast boats on there. somebody shows up with a tin john boat and they’re not going to make it... they said it was a helluva washing machine going in those narrows,

 

[Rttoys]

I’m surprised I survived my shenanigans from lake Travis, 20 years ago.

Tiny for lake of the Ozarks out here.

Depends on the driver. I've been in 6-8ft surf in a jon boat. Definitely not for novices which is why I wasn't driving.


It's kind of like rock crawling but on water. If you're not going the same way the wind is you basically have to pick your line over every wave.

Oh look, the new Bay Liners are out.
