Rock Hall / lightning (chris h)

Well 2 boats were hit in the Governor's Cup race several years ago and I'd assume they were running their engines but can't say that for a fact. I felt a tingle thru the wheel and I wasn't running my engine so running the engine might make you more likely to be hit but leaving it off doesn't prevent it I'd say. Paul

This is one of those weird stories that makes little sense. What is the correlation between running an engine and the enhancement or increase in probability of getting hit by lightening? I don't see it. Any ways.....back to work..thanks for the chat twas fun. /ch On Mon, May 9, 2011 at 1:43 PM, <pw… [at] aol.com> wrote: > > > Well 2 boats were hit in the Governor's Cup race several years ago and I'd > assume they were running their engines but can't say that for a fact. >
