The Travis County Sheriff's Office said they responded to a total of 15 distress calls which varied and included: boats taking on water, stalled engines, capsized boats and boats sinking.

TCSO said as of Sunday, three boats have been towed out of the water and two remain submerged.

CBS Austin affiliate KEYE reports that boats began sinking almost immediately as the parade started, according to the Travis County Sheriff's Office.

Hosted a dumb fuck boat rally on the Navesink River, where American Revolutionary troops once travelled to fight the British.

I grew up there my entire childhood. Fortunate to have grown up in Rumson and experience such a lovely place on two rivers and the Atlantic, but as a teenager I realized that it's a pretty insular, intolerant and uninviting bubble. Very white. Went to undergrad in Los Angeles to get far away and get schooled. New Orleans was my next stop for work and graduate school.

A good chunk of my classmates moved right back after undergrad. Hard to hack the real world when their egos are wrapped in make-believe bullshit.

There always is a contingent of moderate and left-leaning political folks, but there's far too much Wall Street money and social/cultural blinders on to abandon the RePuke platform.
Add to that the less moneyed "village" folks who channel a Keansburg oppressed working class attitudes, and you have lots of Trumpers.
