So Cody and my wife and some friends took our boat out on Lake Houston yesterday. They got a couple surf sets in before someone we know from our local wake club called and notified them of bad weather moving into the area so they decided to pack it up and head in. They managed to get the boat loaded up on the trailer and packed up right before it started raining. By the time Heidi had got my son in the car and buckled in it was raining so hard she couldn't see to get out of the park so she sat in the parking lot to wait it out. While waiting she saw a malibu at the dock trying to load up. A man was driving the boat and what we assume was his wife was attempting to back the trailer down the ramp with little luck. Eventually the man tied up the boat to the dock to aide his wife. The rain must have cleared up good enough by this point for my wife to leave. Well today we found out that while tied up to the dock the 3-5' rollers come in off the lake were too much for the bu and she sank. Some other members from our local club aided them in the recovery effort of getting their swamped boat loaded back on the trailer. Apparently the guy has only had the boat for a week just to make it worse. Glad no one got hurt but a good reminder to keep an eye on the weather at all times when on the water!
