Fresh water is a more difficult problem than salt water. Google lightning, sailboats. There's several studies on the net about this. Rik "Stupid is supposed to be painful" ....

I just had a friend of mine get his Ericson 32 zapped by lightning, and totaled! Now, I'm trying to figure out how to protect my M-17 from lightning strikes while it sits in the slip at the lake. Have any of you thought about or done anything to take lightning into consideration?
