One thing that I have always been curious about is exactly how dangerous it is to be out on the lake in a boat during a storm.. Dont get me wrong I agree with your actions.. I would have done the same thing..
Im just curious about how oftern it happens and how much risk there is?
How often do you hear of boats being struck by lightning? What about boats on moorings; why dont they get hit? or boats at docks?
