I would have guessed more like 21.5 feet. But yes, hard to tell. Mom looks terrified, kid looks to be on his phone, and dad... hard to say, but I suspect his boat payment was flashing thru his head many times over.
I needed a few crowns last year and my longstanding dentist friend let me know it would only cost two or three boat payments.

I only asked because the article said it was waves, which cannot be predicted very far in advance to the day of boating.
That's a good eye you have to specify it was a 17 footer from that picture.
I guessed based a 6 foot beam estimated from the canopy.
A 20 foot craft shouldn't be that narrow.
If I zoom in closer it looks wider, or not, hard to tell. The occupants do look thrilled.

MENUCanadians see family reunification as biggest priority in 2020A new survey finds Canadians are still positive about immigration, but want to see family reunification as a priority over economic-class and refugee-class immigration.
Published on September 1st, 2020 at 08:00am EDTCanadians generally agree that immigration is positive for long-term economic recovery but want to see family members given the priority for immigration.
Coronavirus has slashed immigration numbers, especially in family-class sponsorship and refugee resettlement. Family sponsorship was down 78 per cent in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period last year. Refugee levels were the hardest hit, down 85 per cent, and economic-class immigration was down 52 per cent.
About 36 per cent of the respondents in a recent survey by the Association of Canadian Studies said that the family members of people already in Canada should be given priority in 2020. In 2016, that figure was only 30 per cent.

Could the debates do for President Donald Trump what the conventions didn’t?
A USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll indicates many voters think that’s possible.
A greater share – 47% – predicted Trump will win the debates than the 41% who said Democratic candidate Joe Biden will.
That’s despite the fact that only 33% of respondents who watched at least some of the conventions said the political events made them more likely to support Trump; 37% said the conventions made them less likely.

LOL, you're not a boater, are you?
Yes, I have been around them all my life. This is the image I saw, it appears to be weather or wake, but a 17 foot craft has no business here. I don't have the story on what caused the conditions.

Actually here locally in NC the Democrats are saying that it happens on such miniscule amounts that it won't change anything
That is a statement based on simple arithmetic.

Any updates to this? I'll just leave this here..
What are you looking for?
I was asked whether I found the Atlantic article credible and I stated the reasons.
Greenwald article doesn't bring any new light to the topic. If the same three or four witnesses repeated the claims to other news channels and they scrutinized the comments, that does not undermine the accuracy of the reporting.
The only thing that will bring this closer to resolution is the decision of the sources to go public.
I have an open mind about this topic, I hope others can too.

I pointed you to the Penal Code sections already. You need to read the bill in connection with the sections and you will see it, it just takes putting it all together from all the various sections that cross-reference each other. It is really important imo to see that the definition of "sexual penetration" doesn't cover oral or A sex -- "sexual organs" don't count when it comes to penetration of the back passage (so dumb I cannot use the actual word), which is weird -- that's sodomy and it will put you on the register. But if you penetrate with a finger or [imagine whatever you like that isn't a sexual organ that can penetrate], the judge has discretion now if the child is at least 14 and the adult is no more than 10 years older.
I will tell you you need to look at section 290 as it is currently written and how the bill would change it. The other sections are 286, 287 and 288. None of those sections are changed by the bill, only section 290 from the way I read it.
The change doesn't just cover gay people. It covers people of all sexual orientations. You do not have to be gay to engage in oral or A sex, obviously. No one is potentially getting away with it -- statutory rape is statutory rape. This is only about whether an adult will be automatically added to the sex offenders register.
I am sick of reading about this at this point and I think you can find me firmly in the camp that statutory rape is wrong, which isn't exactly a controversial place to argue from I think!
I am all for happy, healthy, consensual sex between adults of whatever age difference and whatever sexual persuasion. Except this kind of sex (crossover post -- Daily Mail update for Boiler): https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8678997/Woman-caught-husband-having-sex-mother-says-suspected-them.html
I think your careful stating and restating of the facts is a waste of your time, this thread has entered the Q! zone.

Let these clowns vote by mail, and no problem!
They should follow the president's suggestion for NC and vote twice to make sure it sticks.

Multiple 911 calls were made Saturday afternoon regarding boats being in distress, some sinking at the ‘Trump Boat Parade’ that took place on Lake Travis, according to the Travis County Sheriff’s Office.
TCSO confirmed with CBS Austin that multiple boats were sinking, some in distress.
Are those whitecaps on that lake? Seriously people, those craft do not belong out in those conditions.

This AP fact check should clarify the confusion.

This really is about the judges discretion in using the sex offenders registry and changes no felony laws. Statutory rape will still be statutory rape.

They say anonymous in the article, and if they aren't cited, they're anonymous, despite the mental gymnastics.
Regardless, the "sources" are entirely what this accusation hinges on, the rest are biases and assumptions, and clearly all this are leaps you're willing to take despite countless smear efforts just like this being completely wrong.
Don't worry though this piece will have zero effect on his presidency and the election.
The word anonymous does not appear in the article.
"These sources, and others quoted in this article, spoke on condition of anonymity."
This is different because the journalist knows the person, can verify the quote and collaborate it with other sources and their ability to even hear remarks. The person is not unknown, just unknown by us. Speaking on background is common with journalists, no news there.
We do know that Gen Matis has had several interviews with the Atlantic.
On the other hand: Sarah Saunders did support the president's version and should have been well placed to know, but couldn't be in the room 24 x7. Pompeo stated he never heard the President use those words. So that does weigh in the side against the article.
The credibility factor for me comes with my first hand observation of the man's patterns and lack of depth on the topic of military history, or any history for that matter.
On a personal note:
The comments he made about John McCain about liking those who are not captured still sticks in my throat. That lack of understanding and support for any veteran, in particular for those who lost limbs or worse, was a deal breaker for me.
I am the first generation in my family that did not serve active duty in a conflict since WWI. That felt personal.
If you can impeach the ethics of the Atlantic and staff, bring some proof. For now I am saying it is a credible article.

Do you find it credible?
credible ?Yes:
1. We have seen the president make off the cuff statements in the past.
2. I truly believe he does not know the history of WW I, the man is definitely not a history bookworm.
3. We have seen him use similar language re John McCain.
4. The sources (plural) are not anonymous, just in unpublished. I have no way to evaluate the sources credibility or recall of course.
.
I don't know the sources or the complete context so it is impossible to fully understand the intent behind the statements.
I suppose now that I have stated that I believe that it is probable that the article is true, I will get the "deranged" label. So be it.

Well, it's apparent that posting anything controversial about the President triggers arbitrary responses. Lesson learned, only Trump rainbows and unicorns to keep everyone here pacified.

It's clear that some people believe anything said against Trump, even without proof. TDS is actually a real thing. Will probably be added to the Journal of Psychological Medicine soon.
Edit: never mind, I found the mute button.

Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers
The president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic.

This is a timely topic.

Multiple boats sink during Trump Boat Parade on Lake Travis

His boat payments, not mine and yes it is nice according to the pictures he flashes. Cruises inside Vancouver, Queen Charlotte's every summer to Alaska. Ya think if he was really a "friend" I would get invited to G&Ts when he is docked at least.
