If you see lightning, stay away from anything metal on you boat. Don't be leaning on your boom while being facinated by the lightining. If you get hit, most of your electronics will probably be zapped, whether they are plugged in or not. If you do get hit, go buy a lottery ticket. I only know one person who ever got hit, so don't sweat too much. Happy sailing!
