Lightning Strike!
Storms last night.
Good morning everyone, we're safe. But the boat just 2 moorings away from
us was struck by lightning last night. I watched the sparks fall after it
hit their mast. I went over there at 2am to check on them at the tail end
of the storm and they are fine but I'm sure their electronics are fried.
OH my it was LOUD! The wind hit 36 knots for a few minutes and it rained
buckets. I had not unplugged the dinghy drain so it was full of water when
I went over there and I had to drain it before I lowered it. I don't like
doing that because it's VERY heavy and strains the Jockey pole I use as a
crane. We are glad they're all ok over there. It could be bad if you were
touching metal when it hit.
