ReplyDeleteEvery one of those boat owners should be charges for hazmat cleanup.
eck!
It is so emblematic of the Trump Administration that they doomed each other. They were so selfish and vainglorious of their boats and support that they did what they liked, without regard to the others on the water. To manage to swamp five boats because of unrestrained wakes is quite in keeping with what they have done to the country as a whole, It was undoubtably smaller vessels that suffered, and not one mask, let alone life vest, was in evidence in any picture I’ve seen except when people were actually abandoning ship.

I'm going to steal klannish armada, but I will attribute it properly.

I'll bet I've fished some of those holes din, having run the Klamath many times in G'da's McKenzie River drift boat.*
ReplyDeleteI came across credible reports this morning - I read so much it's hard to keep track sometimes where I see things - of a river incident over the weekend of big wake boats swamping and sinking boats moored at homeowners' waterfronts. Apparently there was one - a butt parade -in my backyard, on Lake Billy Chinook, through sadly no boats sank. I also read somewhere that Antifa sabatoged those boats, so...
