The Frankish Reich Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 22 hours ago, Tiberius said: Their seamanship is about as competent as anyone would expect from a Trumper. Just total incompetence all around with this cult Long ago I heeded the maxim, "A boat owner will be happy on precisely two days: the day he buys the boat, and the day he sells it." So I don't know anything about this. But this Financial Times writer certainly does, and I guess we'd call it "collective boater error." (reg required, but well worth it since the FT alphaville is always interesting): US presidential election 2020 Cars, bikes, planes and boats Those boats in Texas paraded at the wrong speed Trump skippers ran planing hulls at displacement speed. That was a problem. 51YESTERDAY By: Brendan Greeley read more 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 6 hours ago, wAcKy ZeBrA said: The rough water was caused by too many large boats going too fast through the water, not the weather. On Saturday in Spicewood, TX, a city on Lake Travis, it was 88 degrees and partly cloudy. 0" of rain. https://weather.com/weather/monthly/l/Spicewood+TX?canonicalCityId=d5dd17a8704d5640e313dda06b4ceb3625c6e2d0c7098e85a0b75314b39f3399 Ok so it wasn't the weather. They all put themselves in danger. No one put anyone else in danger. It's called personal responsibility. ***** happens and many times it's because of our own actions. If they put anyone NOT involved in the parade in danger then you have a point. Otherwise you stick with everyone's a victim mentality. 3 hours ago, wAcKy ZeBrA said: Thanks.

Not sure - I've been trying to find how many of the 4 boats that sunk were in the parade but haven't. Maybe you can invoke Rule #2 on yourself and help me out since this is the only topic you're interested in today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the boat that got swamped wasnt in the parade and was just an innocent bystander. Just a family trying to enjoy their day. https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2020/08/boat-sinks-on-willamette-river-as-trump-boat-parade-passes-by.html Pretty on brand.
