Texas Trump boat parade: The wake of other boats caused 5 boats to sink,
The weather on Lake Travis, which is west of Austin, was calm Saturday, but the large number of boats moving together produced large waves, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
Of the five boats that sank, three have been towed out and two others remain on the bottom of Lake Travis, the sheriff’s office said.
“Most boats that were taking on water, or even fully submerged,” the sheriff’s office said, “were able to be hooked up and towed before they sank to the bottom of the lake.”
