Recently, we experienced a rash of lightning strikes in our marina, and several boats were struck, including the boat I run, Brier Patch. Interestingly, we did not even take a direct hit; the lightning hit another 72-foot Merritt docked next to us. The bolt struck an antenna, blowing it apart and sending burned shards and pieces of fiberglass flying in a 100-yard radius around the boat, including all over Brier Patch and the parking lot. Lightning can enter your boat several ways.
