I did some military training and was told by experts that if you are in a boat that is being fired upon...get away from the boat!..stop me if you've heard this before. I heard the same thing about lightning. So how bout this...you rig a 2 foot piece of steel to a halyard and connect it to some wire and then haul it up the mast...just before an electrical storm arrives....then throw the wire that is bolted to a 4' piece of stainless overboard. You could even 'try' to float it away from the boat and use nylon insulated spacers but then all this makes 'get away from the boat sound so easy'. 'Whew...depending on your location, praying just may be the best option'.
