Lake Travis Party Barge Overturns
Story
I heard on my local news station on the ride in this morning that they were apparently passing a nude beach and everyone on the boat went to one side to have a look, causing it to flip.
Hmmmmm...... Imagine that!!!!!
Glad everyone is ok.

So you want to see a gay beach? Something you would like to share with the board?

Party Barge Flips During Gay Event at Lake in Austin, Texas; 2 Injured
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A party barge flipped while on a lake and sank Sunday, injuring two of the 60 people aboard, police said.
Officials said everyone was accounted for. Two people were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
Krista Umscheid, a spokeswoman for the Lower Colorado River Authority, said sheriff's divers were checking compartments of the sunken, double-decker pontoon boat as a precaution.
Umscheid said witnesses reported that the boat started tilting and overturned when all its passengers moved to one side of the craft as it neared Hippie Hollow, a lakeside park and the only public nude beach in Texas.
The nose of the boat was touching the shore at the time of the accident. The boat sank in 50-60 feet of water.
The Austin American-Statesman reported in its online edition that the barge flipped over during Splash Day, a semiannual event hosted by the gay and lesbian communities.
