I've read the theory that the electrical discharge reduces
the chance of being struck by lightning.... don't know if
that's true.


I've read that it is a precurser to lighting jumping up

Have you ever seen your mast and spreaders glowing with a bright green
luminious plasma?


Green plasma? No
I have seen yellowish and blueish glow originating from the
top of the mast a couple of times, can't remember seeing it
from spreaders.

I've seen blue and green and orange. Once in the Indian Ocean everyone
on the bridge saw what I think was ball lighting, It was the classic
limish green oval ball that hovered in frot of the ship maybe 3 miles
out, then shot up into the sky at breakneck speed

It's a spooky looking effect.

On the workboats we used to grab fluorescent tubes and hold them up
outside the wheelhouse and watch then light up when keying the sideband
radio

We had a fast front move thru last week and the corposant was standing
on my upper spreaders.

Yeah Corposant means body of the saint.


Did it make you get religion?

Yelp, that and great sunset and sunrises.
