I've also always been a bit concerned, but I think strikes are fairly rare.
I've been sailing during lightning (not by choice, we were trying to get
back), and it was landing all around us, but nothing hit. That was on Lake
Tahoe.

Well its been raing and lightning all weekend, and is suppose to thru
the 4th.
Had a ladie and 13 YO girl at the beach strunk yesterday.

Kinda makes me skiddish sailing the Dink hearing the thunder all
around.

Don't know how anyone could stand living on a plastic sailboat with a
metal mast, you're just asking for trouble. Same with cruising boats.
