My bet is he's the guy that picks a dead person's wallet at a crash scene, or worse.

noun: Schadenfreude; noun: schadenfreude
pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.
BTW closing the boats bailing valves or scuppers is always a good thing.
or did it get swamped by other boats' wake?

Now I know.
The big boats create really big wakes that can break over the gunnel of a smaller boat or worse break over the bow causing the boat to literally submarine.
That happens when an asshole in a big boat fails to recognize that proceeding at speed in proximity to small craft is a recipe for disaster. I've seen it happen.
Hope the owner of the big boat is arrested and charged for reckless boating and endangering others. The water is not a hospitable place for air breathing creatures.

Many are perplexed as to who could still vote for Drumpf, but as long as these MAGATs are rolling in the dough, they don't care about BLM, pussy-grabbing, mocking the disabled, trashing veterans, caging kids, etc. Democrats need to remember that as we head into November.

flamin lib
(14,559 posts)boaters refer to as "haystacks". Waves collide from different directions and culminate in stationary (for a very short time) towers of water. It's a mess. And if you happen to be a water skier who gets dragged through a patch of haystacks it's an exciting event!

(854 posts)(The term refers to a literal translation from a Japanese publication of the demise of a Japanese pilot that a friend of mine was researching years ago. Seems an apt description here. In this case it looks like everyone was OK, including the flags, minus the boat. Wonder how one explains this on an insurance claim, assuming the boat was insured.)

(86,717 posts)Even told a couple buddies about it and they are laughing too.
How appropriate that they would sink while parading around like the assholes they really are, and they get trumped by nature!

At least four boats sank at an event promoted as a Trump Boat Parade on Lake Travis in Texas on Saturday, the authorities said.

I see a lot of pictures of men doing dumb things captioned "Reasons why women live longer than men." The other way around, not so much.
