Anyone here have any water toys?

Well you basically pray for the best you have a hell of a lightning rod sticking out of the boat as well as the antennas . My dad's boat was hit by lightning in the 80's while it was moored at the yacht club. No damage to electronics, the little zinc fishes disappeared and 2 spreader lights went bad. But basically we stay away of all the metal (Helm, fittings, etc. as kids we were sent to my parents cabin which was farthest away from the mast

The safest thing, is to grab a line, and jump in the water.

The boat will be producing static rolling on the water, and the lightning is more likely to strike the boat, then anything around it. If the lightning strikes the water, it will be dissipated by millions/billions of gallons. The odds of it harming you in the water, are about the same as me winning the lottery -- I don't buy tickets.


BTW, this does not work in small pools that have metal drain pipes, but I don't think you'd have your boat in the pool...

This is what I spend time on when we go to the lake. Fortunately, I don't own it (but the in-laws do):tricool:

Kind of right, but not complete. Put a life preserver on the end of the line, jump in, put it on, and float vertically.
