Early 70’s, 100 miles offshore of California a thunderstorm squall showed up with multiple lightning strikes hitting the water all around our 60 foot tuna boat. It lasted about ten minutes and to this day I don’t know why the mast wasn’t struck, being the tallest structure around. Lightning is tricky stuff.
