“We had an exceptional number of boats on the lake today,” Kristen Dark, a spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Office in Travis County told The Times. “When they all started moving at the same time, it generated significant waves.”
Steve Salinas, who helped organize the event, said he saw boats of various sizes on Saturday, including 60-foot yachts. Salinas said the water had been choppy and the swells were high.
“You can have really great water one second, and it could get some pretty heavy swells in a matter of minutes,” he said. “Once boats get on a lake, mother nature has its own plans.”
