Hot temperatures keeping lots of people indoors during summer but then there are those who’d rather make the best of it. Anybody that’s lived in Central Texas for any length of time knows that’s it’s going to be hot every summer so what are folks doing out here on Lake Travis to try to stay cool.

This is the first official weekend of summer and sure enough very hot temperatures expected all week long. Some of the day’s activities range from jet skiing to boating or another favorite: floating on a tube with a cold drink. School is out of course so there are a lot of children all over the place. But the heat doesn’t seem to be keeping people away, it’s actually the other way around and folks are looking for ways to cool off.

Having the kids out on the boat, tubing, knee boarding”, is what Maria Sweet of Point Venture has in mind, “You know just staying in the water or even going to the pool this weekend but definitely staying close to the lake.

Some other boaters say they’ve been drinking a lot of water and wearing a lot of sunscreen. They’re also keeping their shirts on more while boating.
