This has been an interesting read. It's made me think about how I would handle it if I'm in that situation. I'm a pretty conservative boater who doesn't like pushing that envelope. Even so, I've found myself blasting toward toward the dock to get away from the storm. They come up fast sometimes!
A few years ago my house was hit by lightning. I was in it when it happened. I was very lucky in that the damage was minimal. But Mother Nature has my attention and respect now!
The thought of docking at a stranger's house in imminent danger is an interesting one. Of course I would never want to intrude on anyone's privacy, but that could be a safer/smarter alternative to breaking NWZ rules.
Is there a protocol?
