Travis is a pretty big lake, several branches on it but a very large open area in the middle. Winds and wakes can chop it up pretty good. Not the best for skiing for that reason, but well known as a sailing place.
was on that lake back in May 2009 - during a drought(like when is there not a drought in Texas).
Peoples docks, in some cases, were what looked like up to a couple of hundred feet from the water.
They had buoys strung across the lake, as boats would get grounded outside the area.
Some areas you couldn’t do more than putt-putt thru ‘em. Was calm that day.
