WOW, great article, thanks larry!


Quite welcome. Don't worry about lightning in the radios and gadgets too
much. The really dangerous parts is when it hits the mast and HOLES THE
HULL. That's much more an issue when the water's pouring in, but doesn't
happen very often.

During the storms at sea, anyways, you're way too busy trying to stay alive
to worry about lightning hits, way in the background when that mountain of
water comes thundering down on you...(c;
