Most were elderly. Cause is suspected to be the wake from a larger,

boat.
But 48 or 49 people on a 40 ft boat?

How could this happen on a calm lake? No waves or wind action at all.
Does
anyone have the details?

Initial reports say it was hit by the wake of a larger tour boat. If
this turns out to be true, look for the operator of that larger boat to
pay dearly.


They may get off somewhat, by stating, a 40' tour boat with 50 people aboard
should handle normal wakes found on the lake. And the fact that there is
a normally operating ferry with a large wake, should require the tour boat
to take care for such.
