5 September 2020 Lake Travis t----** boat parade disaster, lest we forget.

I ran across Sandy and Richard Riccardi's parody about that insanity (could somebody please post the video?), and, in checking, saw that today is the anniversary.

12. I remember just SMDH at that

I doubt a single one of those stink pot captains knew anything about windage or cross currents, what going over wake speed did in crowded conditions or what having too many of those silly flags flapping around would do to handling. Another expense to the taxpayer.
