About Lightning storms
Hey, short while back, a discussion came out about lightning on the ocean.
I spoke to several people that would know this stuff from Ham Radio Club. Many of them are very techy guys, elec engineers, technicians, etc. They all said nothing good would come from being out in the water on a Kayak in a lightning storm! Just confirming for the FYI crowd... Cowboybill |

I wouldnt want to be anywhere but inside my house during a lightening storm. your chances winning the lottery improve otherwise. |

If you get caught in one of those, make sure to turn all your electrical devices off, lay your poles down & pray

Just don't let your feet dangle in the water and you should be fine.
