lightning that all boaters should understand.
First, lightning can strike up to 15 miles away from a storm. You might think you’re a safe distance away from storm activity, but don’t be fooled. Danger may be much closer than you think. Boating Magazine says that if you count the seconds between the lightning flash and the thunderclap and divide by five, you will have a rough estimate of the distance in miles you are from the storm.
Second, the summer months are prime time for lightning activity. More than 70 percent of the lightning fatalities occur in the months of June, July or August. So, summertime boaters should be especially mindful and well prepared for potential lightning activity.
Third, if your boat is the only one in the vicinity when lightning strikes, Boating Magazine warns “the odds of being struck go way up”.
