Shiver Me Timbers, There's a Lot of Crap in Lake Travis

The next time you're out with the dudebrahs at Lake Travis, think twice before tossing that Bud Light into the water.

Yesterday, Keep Austin Beautiful hosted its 13th annual Lake Travis Underwater Cleanup, a massive scuba diving and shoreline litter removal effort. What they dredged up ranged from the ordinary to the truly bizarre.

A partial list, from the Statesman:

A kitchen sink
A bottle of wine
A debit card
Cans of beer - 600 pounds' worth
Underwear
A portable toilet (?)
A sunken boat

Did they find my Boba Fett watch circa '96, or either pair of my glasses that I lost while sailing?

How about the dignity of all the topless skanks at Devil's Cove?

Dibs on the bottle of wine.

You should dive out there after a party weekend like Memorial Day. Devil's Cove is full of watches, wallets, sunglasses, rings and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Hate to be a clarification nazi...

beer cans, not cans of beer.

Also, a 'personal watercraft' as referenced in the article usually means a 'jet ski'. Not a sunken boat.
