Yikes, there's a big T-storm rolling thru here right now. I better put
my foil beanie on and go outside and pray.

I have had so many experiences with lightning near misses over the
years,
boat and otherwise, that I am positive that is how I am going to end
it
all....
and if you read all the stuff out there, there is really no way
you're going
to protect something that waves a giant metal or wood stick in the
air
screaming "Hit me"...Yacht-L has had some really long winded
discussions on
the subject that cover everything from "cones of disruption" to
sticking a
lightning rod up there....go to their archives and have fun reading
10 years
of ongoing banter....

How many folks have lightning "proofed" their boat?
Did you make your own modifications or buy a package? What systems
are
better than others?
Have you ever been hit?
