Default Boat Overturns in C and D canal

Note this portion of the report:

"Water struck the side of the boat and washed inside causing the boat to
overturn and forcing all three occupants into the water."

I was on the canal Sunday afternoon between 4 and 5 or so. It was calm as
a canal should be.

That water had to come from somewhere.

It's a canal for heaven's sake, and Middletown is about 1/3 of the way up
it from the Chesapeake side. This happened either because someone did not
watch his wake or because capsized captain did not pay attention or, more
likely, both.

I can't see any other explanation.

Just my two cents.
