Lake Travis: Several boats sink at pro-Trump parade in Texas  https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-54045115


At least no one was killed. but it seems that too many boats too close together created a wash that overwhelmed so boats.  


These power boats can be quite dangerous (here in Finland we had fatalities at a 'fun' rally earlier this summmer where the boats were going in single file - one lost control and hit spectators in another boat).

Perhaps the omen is the number of times this summer there have been boat parades in support of President Trump all over the country. Or perhaps the omen is the number of times there hasn't been boat parades for Biden.

Evidence of stupid, unsafe boating practices, I think.  Slow down, put a mask on and try to keep your distance (safer for both viruses and boating.)

Whoever you are supporting, think of other people!

Ps. Wear a life jacket.  Yellow is neither red nor blue, but it is appropriate.

Yeah boats not ships. Might wanna take a look at the break down of classes of vessels and the tonnage.
