 Topic: Lightning ?Posted: 31 Jul 05 at 10:57pm |

guys the best thing to do is go out in a boat where the bottom is plastic or something not metal, or where the central hull is, turtle it, sit on the plastic and watch the show - or... dont go out in one!!!

Sailors don't get old!!! They get a little dinghy (or skiff, or yacht...)

Classic, Yeh a friend of mines mum was leaning against the center pole of a gazebo thing and it got struck with lightning - luckily for her she was wearing a wet suit.

Thanks BNS! We went on to drink huge amounts of beer that night. For some reason our results weren't quite as good the next day, at one point, and I'm not joking here, my crew had to remind me to breathe.
I love sailing. |

YeeeHaa No. 5! That's the spirit!! If your grandad was in the Blitz, he might have described it as "mildly annoying". You Brits are wonderful, you know...

I got struck by lightning once just before launching. It did hurt a bit, so as the race was postponed until the squall passed I went for a beer with my crew. Got a good result after that.

lightning dosn't strike planes because they are not a route to earth, with regards to motorists, deregulate so they actually have to think like what we do, with loads less accidents

I know someone who was struck by lightning when flying a glider. Being firmly of the old school, he merely described it as "fairly alarming".
