Travis County officials are investigating multiple reports of ’boats in distress’ on Lake Travis during a Trump boat parade.
According to the Travis County Sheriff’s Office, they were first notified of the incidents around 12:15 p.m., Saturday.
The image below was tweeted by Austin American-Statesman photojournalist of the boat parade.

Several boats were in distress all along the parade route, according to officials. There are currently no reports of injuries.

We participated in a Trump boat parade, on another TX lake, over 4th of July.
I could see where smaller boats could run into trouble, with all of the large waves/wakes created, by the traffic.
The lefties are, of course, having a field day, over these sunken boats. Most that I saw (that sunk/were sinking) looked small and many have said that some probably didn’t check their plugs.
Thankful all are safe.
ALSO... A flotilla of Trump supporters sped through the waters of Lake Palestine on Saturday, whooping and hollering at one another and waving any number of flags – from American ones to those featuring the thin blue line, and, of course, those touting 'Trump 2020' – on their way to a small rally held at Bella Vista.
There’s a slew of boat parades this weekend for Trump.....I’ve only possted a few on this thread...plus people are having Trump rallies even without Trump! HAHAHA! Trump people just like hanging together! LOLOLOL

Well the leftist media IS focusing on the Travis Lake boats sinking......NOT on all the parades all over the nation of course....
The media has my unending disdain for what they are........and I can’t find strong enough words to use for how they’ve completely failed the public.
Exactly.
They NEVER report on Trump Boat rallies.....maybe Fox or OANN, NONE of the evil MSM outlets ever do.
Today??
Oh, they’ve all splashed this story, front and center.
Disgusting.
well I was on a large cabin boat when we got hit with wakes from a speed boat......we all got wet! my friend said the teens love to purposely do that.
I love it that so many are having these boat rallies (they ARE fun!! we had a blast) and rallies w/out Trump even being there...like the overpass rallies.
Meanwhile, Joe is safely tucked away, in his basement, getting his hourly drug.
Good on New Jersey...I saw some other photos of the Barnegat Bay Flotilla...what a show!
It just shows the ENERGY indeed comes from Trump supporters and why he loves the rallies...he feels it!
Bumpy ride to say the least. N doubt with wakes and rough waters to navigate your boat’s going to rock quite a bit.
Which is somewhat predictable by itself but add a bunch of wakes in there and . . .
I went to school in N.J. when about 9 yrs old.....then enjoyed a cottage at the Jersey Shore beach for the summer. So I have a bit of attachment there.
I think there’s more Trump voters in NJ than people realize.
Exactly.....hope they’ll be able to retrieve their boats!

I always put my drain plug in the cup holder right beside the glove box so it can be easily seen when you get in the boat. Never failed to put my plug in after 40 years of owning a boat. It’s really not that hard!
Bilge pumps. Plural
Yes indeed. There a quite a number of conservatives here in The Garden State. Where did you go to school?
