Maine - let me pipe in here with the obligatory stupid question...

Lightning. What the hell do you do out on the water for that? I've been reading and reading and still haven't come across a discussion of this.

BTW - Bene, the CRAZIEST sea state I've come across is in "Desparate Voyage" by JC. When he was in the eye of a hurricane, he described the seas as being so insanely confused they were "pyramiding" - that is absolutely no wind, but the waves would all meet and shoot straight up 30-40 feet. That's gotta be hell right there.

Oh - REAL WORLD experiences....ahmm...I got nothin'. I sail in a puddle.
